Bustin' It

I have discovered the best way to teach kids about what life is really about. It's called Mutton-Bustin' and every kid in America should be required to participate as part of their school curriculum. Here's how it works: Kids are given a vest and a helmet and put on the sheep. The gate is opened, the sheep runs out and the kid has to hang on for dear life. The longer the kid hangs on, the higher their score. They all eventually fall off and some land harder than others. So, how does this teach kids you ask. Well, here you go. (picture compliments of deadspin.com)

1) Some sheep are calm and some are wild and you never know what kind you're going to get. In life, we never know what kind of sheep we're going to have to ride.

2) You have to hold on as tightly as you can. Don't we all.

3) You'll always fall off, but you have to dust yourself off and get back on again. If you break something, you go to the doctor, get healed and then what? You get right back on! If every kid could learn this lesson, we'd be much better off.

4) Someone wins and someone loses. Yes, somebody's feelings will probably get hurt but that just makes you more determined to do better next time.

5) Everyone is rooting for you, especially your parents. Just go to one of these events and watch. There's no booing or jeering, just rooting and encouragement. And Mom and Dad are always right there, not to keep you from falling but to help support, motivate and love.

I could go on and on. I am now a big fan of mutton bustin' as an official class for kids in school. Think the liberals (ie teachers union) will go for it? No, they'll be too busy riding "It's A Small World".

On the Road Again

We're traveling across the west, transplanting our lives. What a beautiful country we live in. Mt. Shasta is absolutely beautiful. I love the pacific northwest. No place more beautiful on this earth.

Thomas Sowell Nails It

This guy is good and says it straight. I completely agree with him.

Obama was Brilliant.

Yes he was. His speech to school choldren was very inspirational. One report had a listener saying they 'had chills' listening to him. There were many reports of kids being inspired by Obama's words. He didn't say anything that I don't agree with. So all is well, right? No, because Obama accomplished exactly what he intended - to instill in these kids that he more than a man, more than just a great leader, that he is downright God-like. It is more than just having respect for the President of the United States. He has a way of mesmerizing and hypnotizing people into thinking he is the greatest thing to ever walk on this planet. And he has fooled so many. He has fooled them so well that despite all of the evidence to the contrary, they still think he is an honest, compassionate, freedom-loving leader. Beware.

Happy Labor Day

Here it is, Labor Day 2009. I am grateful for having a great job at a wonderful company in a beautiful part of this country. I'm grateful for all that came before me that made this possible, including labor unions. They helped make conditions for the working man better and helped bring about many of the laws and regulations that protect us today. But that being said, they had their time and it has passed. They now cause more problems and are so corrupt that it is time for them to go.
Remember in the old west, people used wagons pulled by horses. They were useful and needed. But since then, things have changed and new methods have been developed. Unions take note - at one time you were useful and needed. But now, it is time for you to go away, to become a part of history.
Unions - I will always be appeciative of what you accomplished and how I have benefitted. But your time has come and gone and it is time to close up shop.

I Pledge .....

OK, OK, OK, I'm trying to stay composed after watching this video.

Are you serious! What is going on?!? Can you honestly watch this and say to yourself, 'Barack Obama is just trying to motivate us and wants us to be better people.' I can't believe these two lines:
"I Pledge to be of service to Barack Obama", and
"I pledge to be a servant to our president."
WHAT!! Then check out the picture that comes out at the end. Unbelievable. Do the words dictator and czar come to mind? They do to me. It is so stupidly obvious that Obama wants to be worshipped and rule this planet.
I have a pledge (or two):
1) I pledge to go through this video and list out every celebrity that appears in it and boycott anything they do.
2) I pledge to vote for whoever runs against Obama in 2012 no matter who it is.

Who's Running this Country?

I've been trying to figure out who really runs this country. I believe Obama is the face of a much bigger group whose motives are not good. No, I'm not a black-helicopter, stealth-plane, area 51- believing nut who thinks everything is a government conspiracy. But anyone with any common sense can see that there is definitely something sinister going on in the country today. So who really runs things? I believe it is really three main groups:

1) Socialists. This generally includes Obama and his comrades/Czars and most of the people he grew up with, politically-speaking, in Chicago: Ayers, Wright, Rezko, Van Jones and the rest of that gang.

2) Unions. These thugs have so much power and influence that no one is willing to stand up to them. The NEA, SEIU, Autoworkers and the rest. They are only damaging our country and taking us further down the road to socialism.

3) LGBT. This group is pushing their agenda down America's throat. They don't want to be equal, they want to be the same - and they never will be. Their lifestyle is immoral and always will be no matter how many 'rights' they manage to deceitfully gain.

I am worried and scared for our country with groups like these running things. We've got to take a stand against these groups before it is too late.
