Why I am not voting for Gene Taylor…

Gene Taylor, D-MS-4 is considered a moderate. He is generally well liked along the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Perceived by locals to be helpful for our area.
I have met Mr. Taylor twice. He wouldn’t recall me, it wasn’t that kind of meeting. More of a grin and shake meeting.. I actually like him. But I wont vote for him again. I have voted for him in the past despite my GOP tendancies and being a conservative. Because at the time he was the best for us.
But times have changed. Mr. Taylor hasnt changed. But I have. (Along with MANY others)
My priorities are different. I want a conservative power base for the good of America. I want legislators that will have some backbone when it comes to supporting my way of life. Someone that has the balls to stand up and say “thats all well and good…but we can’t do it…because we cant pay for it right now.” when it comes to spending.
Someone that will say…go out and earn your income…the Government isn’t giving it to you. Someone that will protect what I earn..and let me keep it to use how I choose. We need someone that not only pays lip service to us about protecting our morals and beliefs, but will actually STAND UP and keep our traditional beliefs that our founders guided us with..which works…for us.

I received one of those many “keep it going” type emails, however I LIKE this one.
Dear American liberals, leftists, social progressives, socialists, Marxists and Obama supporters, et al:
We have stuck together since the late 1950′s for the sake of the kids, but the whole of this latest election process has made me realize that I want a divorce. I know we tolerated each other for many years for the sake of future generations, but sadly, this relationship has clearly run its course.
Our two ideological sides of America cannot and will not ever agree on what is right for us all, so let’s just end it on friendly terms. We can smile and chalk it up to irreconcilable differences and go our own way.
Here is a model separation agreement:
Our two groups can equitably divide up the country by landmass each taking a similar portion. That will be the difficult part, but I am sure our two sides can come to a friendly agreement. After that, it should be relatively easy! Our respective representatives can effortlessly divide other assets since both sides have such distinct and disparate tastes.
We don’t like redistributive taxes so you can keep them. You are welcome to the liberal judges and the ACLU. Since you hate guns and war, we’ll take our firearms, the cops, the NRA and the military. We’ll take the nasty, smelly oil industry and you can go with wind, solar and biodiesel. You can keep Oprah, Michael Moore and Rosie O’Donnell. You are, however, responsible for finding a bio-diesel vehicle big enough to move all three of them.
We’ll keep capitalism, greedy corporations, pharmaceutical companies, Wal-Mart and Wall Street. You can have your beloved lifelong welfare dwellers, food stamps, homeless, homeboys, hippies, druggies and illegal aliens. We’ll keep the hot Alaskan hockey moms, greedy CEO’s and rednecks. We’ll keep the Bibles and give you NBC and Hollywood.
You can make nice with Iran and Palestine and we’ll retain the right to invade and hammer places that threaten us. You can have the peaceniks and war protesters. When our allies or our way of life are under assault, we’ll help provide them security.
We’ll keep our Judeo-Christian values. You are welcome to Islam, Scientology, Humanism, political correctness and Shirley McClain. You can also have the U.N. but we will no longer be paying the bill.
We’ll keep the SUV’s, pickup trucks and oversized luxury cars. You can take every Subaru station wagon you can find.
You can give everyone healthcare if you can find any practicing doctors. We’ll continue to believe healthcare is a luxury and not a right. We’ll keep “The Battle Hymn of the Republic” and “The National Anthem.” I’m sure you’ll be happy to substitute “Imagine,” “I’d Like to Teach the World to Sing,” “Kum Ba Ya” or “We Are the World.”
We’ll practice trickle down economics and you can continue to give trickle up poverty your best shot.
Since it often so offends you, we’ll keep our history, our name and our flag.
Would you agree to this? If so, please pass it along to other like-minded liberal and conservative patriots and if you do not agree, just hit delete. In the spirit of friendly parting, I’ll bet you answer which one of us will need whose help in 15 years.
Sincerely,
John J. Wall
Law Student and an American
P. S. Also, please take Ted Turner, Sean Penn, Martin Sheen, Barbara Streisand, & Jane Fonda with you.
P. S. S. And you won’t have to press 1 for English when you call our country.
Forward This Every Time You Get It! Let’s Keep This Going. Maybe Some Of It Will Start Sinking In.
IN GOD WE TRUST
Just because you can…doesn’t mean you should

Today I was pondering a subject to blog about today. Rant or Rave? After all this is all about ME and what I think. And it struck me. Perhaps that is indicative of the problem in the world today. Since I am only versed in America and not the World… I shall limit the scope to just the USA.
–
It wont matter what I say….someone out there in the blogsphere will turn it around and spit excerpts back twisted to suit them… I don’t care…as I said its about what I think…not you.
Yeah I know thats somewhat harsh…. after all we elected him…and Congress in office.. *sigh*. (“We” meaning a majority, I mean I certainly didn’t vote for him). We all make mistakes. Now how to get them out and put someone in, that GETS IT. You have to represent the people, not dictate to them.… No wonder his ratings are plummeting… “We” want change meaning an improvement in our way of life,income etc…. Let me tell ya…I am not liking the “Change”…

Haven’t posted in awhile. Not that events haven’t warrented more rants. I thought I would wait to see how things unfold with the Arizona SB1070 issue and other States following.
Then I stumbled across this Op-Ed by Roland S. Martin Titled “Ditch the 14th Amendment? Why stop there?” A PERFECT example of FLUFF. And distraction..and someone WHO DOESN’T GET IT. He deserves the IDIOT tag.
Here is the article ..at CNN
I mean even I have heard of this guy. But his points are vague and misleading.

I write this immediately after listening to President Obama’s speech about Immigration Reform. My first immpression? More fluff. No meat. Same story again, nothing new. VERY VERY short on enforcement and securty. He did mention that the “Rules are unenforceable”. What a crock.
First having a politically biased invocation….bad move.
President Obama, after dropping Ted Kennedy’s name moved on to the topic… Stating that America has always accepted immigrants, and how beneficial they have been. Who disputes that? Let me try to apply my BS filter to his speech and see what actually came out.
He supported the Dream Act, and still does….and wants it implemented.
We need bi-partisian support to pass it. DUH.
I dont think he gets it. Really, Mr. President you are a smart man… We want you to stop the flood of illegal immigrants. Not to stop legal immigration.

Memorial Day – 2010

This is the time that we all honor the real life Hero’s of America, those that have fallen defending our very existence. Whether you visit a gravesite, attend a ceremony, or simply take time to reflect on all that has transpired. The many times Americans have risen to the challenges of maintaining our way of life and allow the seed of democracy to grow in distant lands.
Take a moment, and thank a Veteran, active duty member, or retiree for their service.
Not all chose willing to enter the service, but all that did deserve Respect. Honor them by giving them respect.
Many writers this weekend have said great things about this day. Far better than I. One is from “BeingPeachy.com” 12 Folds for Freedom.
So while we enjoy our 3 day weekend, remember why we have this holiday.
Share on FacebookTop Official Says Feds May Not Process Illegals Referred From Arizona
Posted on May 21, 2010

The Title says it all. Its from a Fox News article.
It basically says the ICE may not take Illegal Aliens arrested in Arizona.. What it really says by its innuendo is that somewhere in the Chain of Command the Boss has told them to stall.
Let me make sure I understand this….It says they may not do their job. Intentionally….Just because they don’t approve of Arizona’s law. IF they had said that until the law is proven constitutional they wouldn’t take illegals arrested… I could believe that….
This is yet more proof that this administration and its appointees need to go. To be replaced with people that will support the Majority of Americans and not a small subset.
What happens if the Fed don’t process the arrested individuals? Perhaps they will sit in an AZ jail? I hope not. But if they do its I.C.E’s fault……
And whats up with the Mexican President Felipe Calderon. You know few complain about the intent of the Arizona law (They cant because it matches the Federal Law) except for the possiblity of “Racial Profiling”…. Oh my…. Every Law Enforcement officer has the opportunity to single out people everyday for the simplest of reasons if they are so inclined. This law is no different. It depends on the Integrity of the officer…..
If President Felipe was really worried about ??? Mexican Citizens ???? in the United States illegally….he would stop it… I mean they have harsher laws then Arizona is contemplating for their immigration policy… he is being hypocritical….in that its okay for they Mexican Law enforcement to uphold their laws…but we can’t.Lets make a deal President Calderon, you enforce your laws….we will enforce ours!
They all need to just shut up. Its okay to complain IF racial profiling happens…but let this get decided in court if needed…
Lets DO REFORM our IMMIGRATION law…right after we REFORM our current administration. It is time every American speaks out. Our Government is intentionally failing its citizens. Well not all of them….I will be nice and not enumerate the list that benefits from the new policies….but I bet its not you….or your children….or your grandkids….
It’s time that the majority that has been silent, watching our Rights eroding away SPEAK UP. Before the very principles that America has been built on are morphed into some ugly diseased variant that weakens America.There are MILLIONS of us that, up until now, have silently watched….
What is wrong with wanting to keep America Free? To believe in and want to maintain the Constitution?
What is wrong with wanting to keep our culture? .. To be what we are, and not what others wish we were…. I don’t want to change to make someone else happy. I certainly won’t be FORCED to accept change that a majority don’t want. Nor will you!
Are we so afraid we might “offend” someone by standing up for OUR rights? They certainly don’t mind offending others to stand up for their perceived rights? They don’t demonstrating the “get in your face” attitude.
This goes way beyond Immigration. It goes to the very precepts that our current Administration is basing its decisions. Not just the President, but every Congressman, Senator, every so called representative that refuses to “represent” us. Remember EVERY one of them and vote them out…. “Voted for that health care package? you know the one with a Majority of people against it at the time? – gone… You remember the ones that lied? Paid off by some ear mark?? GONE!
Believe it or not. you STILL control the government. They may try to convince you otherwise. Soon many politicians will soon start “back sliding” to try to cover those previous mistakes. To stay in office….. REMEMBER their actions…. Send them packing.
Send them a REAL message at the voting booth. They don’t seem capable of hearing that message any other way. They know its coming……put a boot to them……SPEAK UP!

Its apparent (albeit it IS from FOXNews….) that a BIG majority of Americans think Los Angeles boycott of Arizona was way out of Line..
And another one from the LA TImes.
In other words they (L.A) should BUTT OUT.
Readers of mine already know my opinion.

Oil Spill makes it to loop current??
Posted on May 18, 2010
Filed Under Gulf Coast | 1 Comment
Recent satellite imagery shows the oil spill…apparently being pulled by the loop current, which runs through the Gulf of Mexico along the Gulf Coast and swings down along the Florida Keys on its path around Florida and up the East Coast.
If the oil makes in into the current in significant quantity, it could easily make it to Key West.
GOM Oil Spill into Loop current.

I was going to make a “Movie” of the oil spill from the images however the last few days, the area was covered by significant cloud cover..
Weather.com has an article on this subject also…here.
Current loop current, notice how it travels by Key West, Miami….
A animated forcast of the loop current is located here. (quite large).
