Concerned parents who see the Cult of Personality surrounding the Obama presidency clearly are being demonized by the OLDmedia (most notably NBC/MSNBC) who in their blind "thrill up the leg" worship of their Supreme Leader, do not (will not?) see how dangerous it truly is, and how wrong it is. Liberals have always been ruled by emotion, and are easily manipulated by their own party with their own lack of logic or forsight (or hindsight). Show them a cute puppy picture and they will return home with a box full of puppies, never thinking about how they will feed them, or that someday they will be very large dogs and they live in a one room apartment in the city. They send their children to public (read: State Run) schools, believing the state will educate them properly, and in the next breath bemoan the "failure of our school system". The left believe the state has a "right" to their children. The right believe that the state has only the rights the Parents choose to give it. The continued failure of the State Run school system to properly educate our children, combined with the increasing leftist and liberal agenda being indoctrinated into kids by the misguided left has caused the number of homeschooled children to triple over the last decade. In 2007 the number was estimated to be 1.7 million. As you watch the OLDmeda chuckle smugly at parents who are alarmed that a Obamaite teacher saw no harm in changing the words to not one, but two Christian Hymns to songs of praise to Obama, (songs the children MIGHT have heard differently in church on Sunday) try to remember for a moment that the State has NO right to those children. There are PARENTAL rights, that means that the Parent has the right to raise the child with the values and ethics of that FAMILY. That also means that if the parent hates rice pudding, they can teach their child to hate rice pudding. They, the parent, NOT the State, has the last say about what is, and is not RIGHT to teach their child, including changing who they should sing hymns to.
Let us look at some other facts.The liberals believe (wrongly) that the Right has no compassion. They think the right is heartless and would gladly throw poor folks into the great abyss if given half the chance.
Who exactly is throwing the poor into the pit?
City, State, % of People Below the Poverty Level (pop. 250,000+)
(U.S. Census Bureau, 2006 American Community Survey, August 2007)
1. Detroit , MI 32.5%
2. Buffalo , NY 29.9%
3. Cincinnati , OH 27.8%
4. Cleveland , OH 27.0%
5. Miami , FL 26.9%
6. St. Louis , MO 26.8%
7. El Paso , TX 26.4%
8. Milwaukee , WI 26.2%
9. Philadelphia , PA 25.1%
10. Newark , NJ 24.2%
Democrat Party Rule in these Cities
1. Detroit, MI hasn’t elected a Republican mayor since 1961
2. Buffalo, NY hasn’t elected one since 1954
3. Cincinnati, OH …since 1984
4. Cleveland, OH …since 1989
5. Miami, FL has never had a Republican mayor
6. St. Louis, MO ….since 1949
7. El Paso, TX has never had a Republican mayor
8. Milwaukee, WI …since 1908
9. Philadelphia, PA …since 1952
10. Newark, NJ …since 1907
Why do Democrat voters continue to believe the false promises of the very people who keep them in poverty? Because they vote with their emotions. They do not see the facts.
More later.

I have not written in a while....
This about covers it.
This about covers it.
Back in my "hippie" days, I had two favorite posters they said:
Question Authority
and
I love my Country, But I don't Trust My Government
Last week on Glenn Beck, (who is currently the "hate, rankor and vitriol target" of the week/month for the Left-leaners), He had a great series on Questioning Authority, and did us all a favor by getting the questions we should (or are) asking all in a neat little list. Here they are:
- Our unfunded liability for Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid is close to $100 trillion. Is there any way to pay for these programs without bankrupting America?
- We are in so much debt, why spend more borrowed money on cap-and-trade and healthcare programs before we stop the flow of red-ink?
- The stimulus package funneled billions of dollars to ACORN. How does giving billions of dollars to ACORN stimulate the economy?
- If it was so important for congress to pass the stimulus bill before they even had time to read it why has only a fraction of the stimulus money been spent 6 months later?
- Bush said he had to abandon free market principles in order to save them, how exactly does that work?
- Why won’t members of Congress read the bills before they vote on them?
- Why are citizens mocked and laughed at when they ask their congressman to read the bills before they vote on them?
- Was the cash-for-clunkers program meant to save the earth or the economy? Did it accomplish either?
- How did Van Jones, a self-proclaimed communist become a special advisor to the president?
- Did President Obama know of Van Jones’ radical political beliefs when he named him special advisor?
- The Apollo Alliance claimed credit for writing the stimulus bill—why was this group allowed to write any portion of this bill?
- If politicians aren’t writing the bills and aren’t reading the bills, do they have any idea what these 1000 page plus bills actually impose on the American people?
- If the ‘public option’ health care plan is so good why won’t politicians agree to have that as their plan?
- If town hall meetings are intended for the politicians to learn what’s on our mind—why do they spend so much time talking instead of listening?
- Politicians are refusing to attend town hall meetings complaining, without evidence, that they are scripted. Does that mean we shouldn’t come out and vote for you since every campaign stop, baby kiss and speech you give is scripted?
- Why would you want to overwhelm the system?
- Is using the economic crises to rush legislation through congress what Rahm Emanuel meant when he talked about "not letting a crises go to waste"?
- What are the czars paid? What is the budget for their staffs/offices?
- Who is "surrounding" the President in the White House?
- Do any of the President's advisers have criminal records?
- Are the President's advisers working to better the country or their own ideals?
- Who are the anti-capitalists in Washington?
- What roles do they have in crafting bills?
- What was "STORM"? What happened to the founders, where are they now?
- What qualifications must one have to be a Presidential adviser?
- What is the difference between a community organizer and a community activist?
- Do the czars have power?
- Should a communist have the ear of the President of the United States?
- What role did the Apollo Alliance play in crafting bills?
- Does the President know the co-founder of the Weather Underground is a board member of the Apollo Alliance?
- How many people in the administration are connected to the movement for a democratic society?
- What role does George Soros play... CONSTITUTIONALLY?
Why does the FCC have a diversity "czar"?
- Who is Mark Lloyd and how does he plan to "balance" the airwaves?
- Will he bring back the Fairness Doctrine or worse?
- Cass Sunstein once said he wants to balance the Internet; is that next?
- Will broadcasters who leave the airwaves be allowed to go to satellite or Internet without government regulation?
- Is there any place (that has a mass audience) where the government wont regulate free speech?
- Why does it seem every member of the Obama advisory team hates capitalism, unless those companies (like G.E.) are in bed with the administration?
If Lloyd has his way, stations who don't comply to the governments definition of the "public interest" will have to pay a massive fine — that helps support public broadcasting:
- What will be the definition of "public interest"?
- Who defines "public interest"?
- Why should it be balanced? Because it's public airwaves? (Well, there are public roads that go by my house and I don't count how many Republicans and Democrats are driving on them)
Why do we need a civilian force?
- Who is posing a threat to us?
- Who will this "force" be made up of?
- Who is the real enemy?
- Does the president know of a coming event? If not, who builds an army against an unrecognized enemy?
- Why won't the media get off their butts and look into these radicals in the White House? And into this civilian army?
It is time to FIRE CONGRESS AND STOP THE RAMPANT CORRUPTION THAT IS THE U.S. GOVERNMENT.

So, I have neglected my journal most of the summer. That sucks. I have generally been caught up in micro-blogging aka Twitter and Facebook, and have not been doing a lot of long drawn out writing. In truth, I think that as you get older, it is not that you have less to say, you just realize that no one wants to hear it anymore.
I also hate my blahdy blah posts, they are better suited for on the spot micro-blogging and I enjoy it. Seems tho that although LJ was the first of the whole "Journal online" thing, the bad boys with the knowledge have taken the idea and mutated it without considering the millions who use and have used LJ since the beginning of internet-time.
I am not going to try to make a new resolve to do better, because I always break it. And really, my DEEP THOUGHTS ramble around in my head til I realize it has all been thought before, by someone, and said, by someone, in a much brighter and more articulate way than I could ever say.
Not on the pity pot, either, just truth, straight up.
Anyway Spectral ooze and industrial lubricants. If you understand that you know where my head is at.
