More Words to Live By....

This is one of my favorite quotes of all time.

Always give your best, never get discouraged, never be petty; always remember other may hate you, but those who hate you don't win unless you hate them, and then you destroy yourself.

Richard Nixon, August 9, 1974

Words to Live By

Republican and Conservatives, these words are as true today as when they were spoken in 1975. Let's not hang our heads, let's not be misguided and let's return to the principles this great nation was founded on.

What's Next

So, the election is over. It was decisive to say the least. But with all the hype, the numbers were down from 2004. We must not sit back and let 2010 creep up on us.

As a conservative, what do we do? I present the following ideas:

1.) We start early by recruiting good solid conservative candidates for ALL districts, regardless of how blue they are. These candidates will bring life experiences, be articulate, and have a consistent conservative message;

2.) The next key to winning in the future will be to regain all the Republicans who felt the party moved to far left. We need to do this precinct by precinct and voter by voter. It is my belief that elections will be won by who can win a few votes here and there. It is now more than ever important to keep Republicans voting Republican.

3.) We need to sell our message of personal responsibility and low taxes. These ideas if presented with facts and coherently, will resonate with the electorate. The key is to be CONSISTENT among the candidates. Using facts and real life experiences. Each election should have a message of ideas like the Republicans had in 1994 in the Contract with America.

4.) FUND RAISE NOW! DO NOT USE PUBLIC FINANCING. The Messiah out spent McCain something like 5 to 1. In order to compete we need to have the resources to get our message out. The keys to 2000 and 2004 was a strong Republican financial advantage as well as a strong GOTV apparatus. We need to rebuild. Having the finances and teams in place election time will reap HUGE results.

5.) Any party leadership not willing to recommit, wanting to stick to the status quo, must be removed. There are many solid young conservatives willing to step up to the leadership and will have strong grassroots support.

Republicans, Conservatives, don't hang your heads low. Instead, get fired up. Now is the time to regain a party that's lost its way. We have a chance to steer the ship right.

God Bless the USA

The Messiah's Prayer

Our Obama, who art in Washington,
hallowed be thy policies.
Thy tax hikes come
thy will be done upon the rich
on America as it is in Europe.
Give us this day our daily government handouts.
And forgive us our working
as we forgive those who ask for tax cuts for all.
And lead us not into having to work, or pay our own gas and mortgages
but deliver us from evil Republicans.
For thine is the welfare, the power and the control of government, for ever and ever. Amen

Less Than 20 to Go... Time to Fight For America!

Less than 20 days until we decide the direction of this country.

What scares me is the socialist direction we're headed, and what scares me the most is we may elect a president who has served 140+ working days in the U.S. Senate. He has no leadership, no record, and he continues to lie about his association to a domestic terrorist.
We would be appalled if any candidate for office had Timothy McVeigh as their friend and associate, wouldn't we? How can we truly elect a man who hates America?

Truth be told, I am not 100% thrilled with my other option, but, he is a great American HERO! He is a man who has fought, almost died for, and loves America. He's not flashy, not the best speaker (he's got me beat if you've ever spent 10 minutes talking to me), and he may be a little too bipartisan for me. Yet, for 5 years he endured pain and torture unlike anything we may experience (and that's coming from me having worked Durand McDonald's). Yet, is all seriousness, he understands the challenges we face as individuals and as a nation. He'll look to the founders as a guide to these challenges.


The choice in this election is clear. In the past, I would get tired hearing "the most important election in our lifetime", but 2008 MAY BE the most important election of my lifetime. It's an election that will either move our country towards the failed socialist policies of Eastern Europe, Cuba, and South America, or we can choose to be grown ups, and support a system our founding fathers risked their lives for. Our system, capitalism, a democratic republic, is not perfect, yet it is the freest. Too many Americans take for granted the freedoms we have and all that have fought for them.


As I stated capitalism is not perfect, it has its faults. There will be winners and losers. It's hard to see a neighbor or friend lose a job or their house, but in America they can bounce back and many do. We allow individuals the freedom to start businesses, move from job to job, live without fearing government. Unfortunately, we're moving towards more government in our lives. Running our banks, our health care, our property and ultimately or lives.


I hope the day never comes, this election will tell which direction we go. Do we choose freedom, and yes, freedom does have its sacrifices. Or, do we choose the easy way, were government solves and tries to rid all our problems. Socialism IS NOT the way to go.


We're Americans, I am damned to see the country my grandfather fought for in World War II, turned into the very thing he fought against. I am damned to see my America turn into the puppet for Socialist Venezuela, and Cuba, countries which hate the freedoms we have. I am damned to see my America become a nation of sissies. I want my children to know, you'll fail more than succeed, but it is learning from those failures, that make you stronger, prouder, and successful.


God Bless the Great United States of America!

TRUTH ALERT: Lower Taxes INCREASE TAX PAYMENTS

In a great editorial on July 21, 2008, The Wall Street Journal laid the foundation for lower taxes, and the continuation of the Bush tax cuts of 2003.

...The latest IRS data have arrived on who paid what share of income taxes in 2006, and it's going to be hard for the rich to pay any more than they already do. The data show that the 2003 Bush tax cuts caused what may be the biggest increase in tax payments by the rich in AMERICAN HISTORY (emphasis mine)
... The top 1% of taxpayers, those who earn (ed: a whole whopping!!!!) $388,806, paid 40% of all income taxes in 2006, the highest share in at least 40 years (my emphasis).

The loonies and socialists, which is the mainstream Democratic party, continue to lie to the American people with their claim of tax cuts for the rich! It is almost laughable how stupid the Democrats are..... I mean retarded..... oh wait, I can't use that word.... disingenuous they are. They like to play to the emotions of people, not for the good, but so they can win elections by buying votes with large government handouts.

It needs to be pointed out that, as mentioned in the WSJ's editorial, that Americans with an income below the median paid ONLY 2.9% of all income taxes!!!! In essence, the lowest income levels pay NO INCOME TAX!!!!!

Conservatives need to continue to press these numbers to the American people. We should be trying to expand the number of rich/wealthy in this country, not, as the Democrats want, try to expand the welfare/government dependant base for the purpose of vote buying.

Lastly, as again laid out in the WSJ's editorial, that if Obama were to raise taxes to the Carter year levels, the rich would pay roughly half of the 40% of all income taxes, 19%!!!!

Why? Part II

But nothing is worse than being hurt by the one person closest to you, a spouse. To keep matters short, I made a huge mistake on Friday, June 13th. Shortly after, I realized I made a mistake and tried to make things right. To be clear, I NEVER COMMITTED A JOHN EDWARDS TYPE OF MISTAKE! But, it hurt my wife and I don't blame her.

Now, I love my wife with all my heart and soul. I know truly she is the person I want to spend the rest of my life with and raise my three beautiful girls with; grow old, very old with her. But recently, she told me that she didn't want or think she wanted to work things out. I am heart broken! I made the mistake, now I need to find a way to save my marriage.

I guess, I'm getting what I deserve. But I want my wife to know I love her with all my heart; with all my soul; and all my being.

Why?

I learned the hard way, but you can never trust a friend.

I recently loaned, in my terms, a significant amount of money, which was promised to be paid back in a few days. The money was to be paid when this person received money from their estranged mom. That was two weeks ago tomorrow. Being the nice person I am, I allowed them to pay me on a Saturday... one week ago this past Saturday. It's now going on two weeks and I haven't seen a penny and this "friend" won't even address the subject.

I was there for them when they were in a pinch, and now when I probably won't make this months rent and can't afford my daughters birthday, they turned their back on me. This is so critical, that I may even risk my job, which I just started today; I became a driver for a local MPLS/StP courier company.


I loved my friend with all my heart, and would probably be stupid enough again to loan them money, but it is so disappointing that they would turn their back on what they said was a friend. I got used plan and simple. If I didn't run the risk of getting sued, and knowing everything I said above is fact, I would name this person and humiliate them. But, beyond this post and possible legal action, I'll take the high road.

My point in this whole post is to let everyone know, you can't even trust your best friend. I've learned this the hard way over the last couple years. If I didn't live to say one more thing, remember this: love your wife, your children, your grandparents and family. For they will be the only people you can ever trust.

2008 MILF

Once again, a group of Italians, and a few others, descended upon the extravagant city of Apple Valley. I wish I could say the same about TPC at Valleywood. I swear that the course will be the death of me, or I'll simply forget about the back nine.

Enough of me. The KARnation in Golf Pants took the the famed Lord Jones' cup again this year. A couple shots in the fairway or a couple putts that fall, Team Comment Trolls win. Of course, it wouldn't be a MILF if my partner Gherity didn't carry the team with an ridiculous 85 individual score. I shot more than 85. We lost by a two shots!

Of course you can get a complete run down over at Kool Aid Report.

I would like to extend my sincere thanks to Learned Foot and the ever lovely Mrs. Foot for their wonderful hospitality! And to all the other MILFers that make it a day to look forward to each year.

Are We Bored Yet?

Does anyone give a damn about the Presidential election of 2008? I don't, I haven't since oh say 2004! None of the candidates tickled my fancy, except Fred Thompson, but he was in the race for all of 1 day. Just Kidding!

But, as a good American, I will vote for McCain. Though he may or could be as dangerous as Obama; you just need to look at campaign finance or the issue of global warming. He won't allow islamic nutties to attack America. McCain won't get all orgasmic over appeasing the E.U or U.N (should we say F.U!). He will need to pick a running mate that doesn't say, "Hey dems, I'm lubed and ready". Anything less than a solid and real conservative could result in a Democrat White House. As conservatives are a principled bunch, a poor v.p. choice could led many to stay home.

That's all I'm going to write about the 2006-2008 Presidential election.

Happy Easter

Happy Easter!

SLA Criminal Back to Jail

It looks like SLA criminal Sara Jane Olson is headed back to jail. According to officials, she should not have been released from prision for at least one more year.

A review of time credits led the correction officials to note she should have not been released for one more year.

Well, goodness for that, I don't belive she should be released period!!! Not only was she a terrorist, but just look at her!!!!! That alone should land her in prison for life without parole.

The Story the MSM Won't Report

While conservative commentators have reported this, why hasn't the main-stream-media??? The fact that Congress' approval rating is lower than the president's is something to be fully aware of!

Moreover, in the RCP poll averages that I've linked to, nowhere has the President had a gap in , approval/disapproval of more than 39%. On the other hand, Congress has, in one poll almost 60% gap...... Yet, the MSM has not reported on the dismal rating of Congress.
