Tea Time and the American Way

Tea parties sprang up across the country. Texas is mumbling about secession, and a few Republicans have decided they can grab on to this issue and get a blurb on the cable news shows.

My bigger problem is the class war the libs are perpetrating.

C'mon. Look, if this type of event will get people to start thinking about what the government is stealing from us then great, let's have tea parties, and protests, and I will lead the parade. But the sad truth is the majority of Americans do not understand. If they knew the facts they wouldn't care. Rich people are now the bad guys. They are evil and must be stopped. They must be removed from the ivory towers and dragged to jail. genius, really.

So let's imagine this financial situation were a farm. Farmer makes some bad loans, knowingly even, makes bad decisions. He is getting richer from the bad business but eventually it implodes and the farm hands lose their investment. The farmer does too but he's still got the farm, his house, etc.

There are a couple options. They will drag him out and whoop the snot out of him, get arrested and lose their job. The farmer can find other workers and the farm goes on. OR The farmer will realize this was bad business and he will learn from that mistake and have to make it up to the workers with interest in the farm, or incentive to continue to work. Open books, management, whatever.

The third option which was never on the table until Osama, I mean Obama took over is the government will take away the guy farm. Jail him. Publicly humiliate him. Then takeover his farm.

The poor (the farm hands) think this sounds pretty good at first (off with the farmers head!) but you see government knows nothing about farming. They know even less about the seasons that little patch of earth endures, or the soil, the flooding, the people, reading the sky, knowing what to do when there are changes and the commodities market shifts. So a pencil pusher will be in charge. They hand it off to the farm hands to run. Here is the unpleasant truth. The farm hands are "hands" becaue they didn't have what it took to run the farm in the first place.

They had a point the farmer did wrong. His decisions cost people money. He should fix the problem.

But what we don't do in the United States of America is takeover a private business and supplant the government as CEO. THAT is socialism, that is the road to fascism.

This lust for wealthy blood is UN-American.

The Demi's cried that Bush was a fear mongerer for 8 yrs. All they have done is fear mongering. Turning our country into an all out class warfare.

Let me tell you something if you tooks ALL the money from one side and gave it to the poor. In 5 years - FIVE years te poor would be poor again and the wealthy would be wealthy again. The poor like to think it is just bad luck what made 'em poor. HA no, friends it is their own choices. They have chosen to their lifestyle. It's not nice, it's not politically correct but it is the truth.

We must stop the ceasing of private industry. If the farm fails, let it fail!!! Someone else, a better farmer will see it as an opportunity, scoop it up and make it a success. That is the American Way.

Feed the Hungry

Observation really is the key to understanding. Looking for the details and realizing their importance.

The Captain of a seized United States of America merchant vessel is being held prisoner by "pirates". This is major news and the story reporters seem to care most about is getting a shot of him trying to escape or sound bytes from the crew he save by his sacrifice.

This man's imprisonment is very important. Of course my prayers are with him and those who wait for his safe return.

But one detail that caught my attention, and which seems to be virtually unreported is that his ship was on a mission of mercy. They were carrying food to the hungry in Somalia. These pirates are starving out their own people by their actions! The governments involved are largely uncivilized, corrupt and I'm sorry they are sick. These same African governments allow the torture and abuse of women and children, child slavery, slavery, and they allow their people to starve. This is not a money issue it is a political one. We could wallpaper our home with donations receipts to organizations to feed the hungry but if we cannot get the food to them...then what? I ask then what?

It doesn't matter how we try to get the aid to them. Gang and tribal leaders (also known as thugs, murderers, and evil criminals) steal, bribe, and kill for the goods. This is the same thing that occured in Iraq under Hussein.

Do you think these poor souls know how much money is sent for them? No. They don't exactly have cable. They are so desperate they have to depend on the generosity of the gangs to provide them the smallest of sustenance. Which is only provided when they "allow" aid through.

The United Nations does NOTHING. The representatives of these countries are treated like royalty. They come to our country and find safe haven and immunity, and they ask for more handouts to save their people.

The UN is doing nothing to save our American citizen who is captured. Diplomacy at work means nothing is happening.

The reason we have not taken back our man is really simple, politics. These ragged, pathetic, pirates should feel the weight of a naval boot on their throat when our man is returned. But then that would probably violate the UN mandates on how to handle thieves, murderers, and vermin like these. The UN will send them to a cozy trial where they will not be punished for this offense and before the ice in my tea melts these sea rats will be at it again.

I want to feed the hungry, we do the sponsor a child thing and have for years but if the money can't get in. If it is being used to fund the pirating of American Enterprise and International aid, then I can't do so in good conscience. This is insane.
