Do You remember when??
Mood:  blue
Now Playing: And now it is totally different.....
I remember the America that I grew up in. Kids in my neighborhood never worried about anything except for what game were we going to play next....and we all respected and loved our parents.
Television was not a real big part of our lives, and computers just didn't exist in the home. So us kids learned a lost art now, of playing and enjoying ourselves which has helped me to actually be able to honestly say....I have never been bored a day in my life. We played football, or baseball, or went ice skating whichever was the thing you did for the season it was, and if we didn't want to do that, we found a Field with stuff in it and built forts and played cowboys and indians...*yes, we pointed toy guns at each other and gasp shot at each other.

Television cartoons were not on much and we were happy with being able to watch them on Saturday mornings....then we went outside to play. Everyone knew this routine, and we asked for nothing more.

Our time for getting new toys or something like that was either our birthdays or Christmas We were happy with that.

Our parents were strict, but fair. I remember getting spankings where my dad would place me in the position, then tell me, if the belt hit me anywhere but on the butt, it was my fault for wiggling and turning around. I didn't, and it didn't.

If I got grounded for doing something wrong, it was always for the time said, and if friends came over during that time, they were informed that I was grounded, that they should come back on Saturday when the grounding stopped. No time off for good behavior, as a matter of fact, good behavior was required or punishment would double.

I love my parents and respect them totally. That being said, I was treated fairly and good all my life, and the punishments were fair. I knew that every action by me had a consequence. Something the kids today don't know. I knew, whether good or bad, everything had a consequence.

Life is that way. Every action has a reaction. We can't get away from that fact of life, no matter how hard the Liberals try. And they are hard at work doing just that! It seems that now the people who do bad things, have more rights than law abiding people. This has got to stop.

People who spend years of their lives to come to this country legally are good people. But now, we have an influx of people from Mexico and Cuba, who are coming in illegally and once here, demanding their rights to stay here! Now I am not saying that these people are not good people. What I am saying is they are wrong! They are totally wrong. When they come here illegally, they break the law. When they break the law, they become criminals....When they become criminals, the become people with no rights. When they become people with no rights, the start to demonstrate for those rights they don't have, instead of doing the right thing and getting in line to become a legal citizen of this great republic.

When they demonstrated, they got the liberally, victim minded people to see their plight, and when that happened, they joined the "now immigrants" (not illegal aliens anymore) in rallies to make a law to make them citizens "to help these poor people who are only here to make a better life for themselves" and in the process make a new law to keep the old law that was already in place from making them go back home and come back legally. Thus the new law would make it easier for the liberals for the next group of illegals when they came along.

You follow that last paragraph? Think about what I said there. 'Every action has a reaction. Every deed has a consequence - good or bad- it is there.

The consequence here? Okay, here they are. The illegals are costing our government billions of dollars......dollars that are coming out of your pockets by the way to house, feed, and educate these people, and that is just in California. Here is what Rush Limbaugh said on the cost yesterday on his show:

"Advocates furiously downplay the cost of this nation-within-a-nation. They peddle instead sugary platitudes that hold illegal immigrants are simply hardworking people who 'pay taxes' and fuel the American economy. The facts, plainly visible to working Americans, tell a different story: The estimated 1.1 million illegal immigrants currently in the nation's public school system cost taxpayers $9.6 billion every year in an attempt to educate them (despite the illegal immigrant community's epidemic-scale dropout rates) The 2.2 million children of illegal immigrants in America, often referred to as 'anchor babies' to ensure the parents can stay, add an additional $20 billion to that tab[.] In California, the 2004-05 state budget spent $9,811 per pupil in the classroom. An estimated 425,000 illegal immigrants in the state's classrooms during that period cost taxpayers more than $4 billion -- a figure that does not include the 'anchor baby' population in the classroom

"More than 40,000 illegal immigrants jammed California's prison system in 2004, costing taxpayers $1.5 billion in tax dollars not reimbursed by the federal government In one of the cruelest jokes played on the American taxpayers, illegal immigrants are allowed to claim children living back in Mexico and qualify for the earned-income tax credit, which traditionally has helped the American poor. These numbers are just the tip of a fiscal iceberg that government officials have slammed the American ship of state into -- and now they are striking up the band and rearranging the deck chairs. Americans hear the mantra every day that without illegal immigrants working in jobs that citizens are too lazy to do, everything from a clean hotel room to a head of lettuce would skyrocket in price.

"A day without a Mexican -- the refrain now goes -- would literally lead to the collapse of the American economy. To the contrary, a year without the crushing weight of millions of illegal immigrants on communities and their budgets just may save the American working and middle class. Yet there is precious little discussion of how a family of six Mexican nationals living in Pomona, Calif., who soak up nearly $40,000 annually in taxpayer dollars just to educate their four children, is contributing more back into the economy.

"Consider even if the primary wage-earner in this family grossed $35,000 annually, a fortune back in Mexico, most of that income is likely to be off the books and under taxed. But education is only one part of the social services system meant for at-risk and in-need Americans that illegal immigrants have drilled into: heath-care costs and subsidized housing are two other areas where the crushing cost of illegal immigration is destroying the system.... No matter how much sugar the supporters of illegal immigrants use to frost the issue, Americans know what a bitter pill they have been forced to swallow," and the closing line is this: "[I]f Congress passes an amnesty this time around, it may well be they who have taken the cyanide."

You change the laws that are in place, to pander to one group, that will just do the same thing with costs, but it will also make it easier for the next group to do the same thing. Do that long enough and we will no longer be a nation of laws that protect us, but we will become a lawless land that has laws to only protect the victims, minorities and LIBERALS That my friends is a land that you and I as conservatives have to be afraid of cause they will come after us next.

There is a huge cross on a hill near San Diego, that was put there and dedicated to the fallen heroes of the Korean War, in 1954. Now, because of one stupid atheist, it may come down. People, do you see what is happening to this country? This has been going on for years now. The liberal agenda has always been to work a change into law that is small enough that it isn't noticed. Now, these little changes have been going on for so long, that they are getting bolder with their ideas and schemes. And they are tearing down the fabric of this country....thread by thread......and now garment by garment. We are losing our freedoms, and the liberals love that. Let's just hope that it's not too late.

The Republicans have got to go back to their moral roots. That is what this country was founded on.

People, this is a Christian country. What are we letting a few atheists tell us to change things because "a cross" offends them? So What??

If I was in charge here, I would say: "I am sorry that the cross offends you, but this is a Christian country and the majority is Christian. The Cross stays, and if you don't like it, your in a minority. Deal with it, or don't let the ocean swallow you up when you leave." This country people was founded with the idea that the majority rules. We are losing that right to the liberals pandering to a few. This is wrong and so out of step with what this country stands for.

The people of this country needs to stand up and make a stand. We the silent majority have to stand up and become the loud majority and stop this keeping quiet while our rights are being stripped from us, the majority, rather than from them the minority. We need to get back to the majority rules and get away from the noisy one or two who are taking our rights away.

To heck with the Cindy Sheehan's who essentially "spit" on her son's grave, and every other young hero who died for our country. We need to stand up and tell her and people like her to shut up or get out. I can see her son turning over in his grave at the disrespect she has shown to his heroic service to this country.

With all that said, it all boils down to one thing. We have to stop pandering to minority groups and start following the laws of this great republic. Let the majority rule, and make the government be the government it is supposed to be. Let it be a government for the people, by the people as Abraham Lincoln once said.

Stop pandering. Stop worrying about what others think. We are America. We are a strong nation. Let's start acting the part. God Bless America!!

Now, I have one other point that just drives me nuts. And this is the press.

I have worked in the printing industry for over 30 years now, and this phenomenon that I am going to talk about here is getting worse all the time.

First off, they no longer report the news. They spin it. Case in point:

Cindy Sheehand or anyone else who slams a Republican President, whether the slam is true or false, is made into a media hero and the press circles the wagons and makes the story the biggest thing in news till it dies out or is proved to be false.....then they just run with the next bit of juicy damaging gossip they can make up.....but if the damaging facts come out and they hurt a liberal....the press is strangely quiet......and there never is an apology for the damage done to Conservatives when their story is proved to be false....but let a falsehood come out about a Liberal...and they are up in arms again.....

The press needs to start reporting the news truthfully, leaving their LIBERAL agenda out of it. STOP SPINNING!!!

GOD people I could write a huge book on this subject and give example after example on both sides of what I just mentioned to support the fact that the press does this and is so liberally biased that a good conservative does NOT exist in their eyes. And this is going back many years, and is getting worse daily.

To the press, no matter how good a president is, if he is Conservative, he is bad,.....and conversely, if the president is LIBERAL he is good.....*Look at Clinton as a case in point*

Like I said earlier people, We need to stop being the "silent Majority" and stand up, let our voices be heard. Let the government officials know our opinions. Loud and clear. So that even the thick headed adle brained Liberals will know "we mean business. Stop screwing up our Country or you are out of a job.

Email, write or phone your government and put them on the right path. They are a government for the people, by the people, and if they don't do our bidding they will become just people for no one....cause we will vote them out!

God bless America!
