My 2 Cents

A long time ago, my dad told me 3 things run this country:

1. Communication - The media is a very powerful tool. Just Barrack Obama.
2. Education - From our grade schools to our universities minds are being molded and shaped.
3. Transportation - Gas prices affect the cost of everything. Did you see prices drop on any goods that were raised when gas was over $4/gallon. No? Me either, but I guarantee that when gas prices go back up, prices on goods will go up again.

I read a blog of someone crying about how they had lost over $30,000 on their 401K this year, which is sad and I felt bad for them, but then they said that 'social security isn't looking so bad now.' WHAT? Do you think that there is going to be funding for social security if your 401K is circling the drain? I don't, and I have never in my life wanted to depend upon the government for my financial security.

I truly do not understand the mindset of those individuals who think that the government should support them. I don't want the government to tell me how to live my life, but that is what is being taught and now, Barrack Obama is the answer to everyone's prayers and it baffles me. It sickens me when people chant, "Obama! Obama! Obama!" instead of "USA! USA! USA!" We didn't hear people chanting, "Clinton! Clinton! Clinton!" or "Bush! Bush! Bush!" Not like we do for Obama. Nothing against the guy, but it is scary to see someone in power worshipped like he is. Pretty soon I have a feeling we'll be the United States of Obama.

There are three parties in this country:

1. A very strong Democrat party who leans toward socialism, and is ruining, I mean running our country.
2. A very weak Republican party who does not know what has hit it, and sides with the Democrats because they don't want to ruffle feathers.
3. A conservative party who wants smaller government, less spending, fewer taxes, and a price to pay instead of a bailout.

Remember AMC, American Motor Corp from the 1960's? They failed...life goes on.

I may get slammed by some of you who disagree with me for what I have said, but I just wanted to say it while I'm still free to do so.

Howard is doing real good and will be seeing the Vet tomorrow morning. He should have a new post on his blog after the visit.
