Mrs. Grinch

27 January 2009 in Barack Obama, Democrats, Pelosi, Politics | 3 comments

You’re a mean one, Mrs. Grinch.
Your promises are an empty hole.
Your brain is closed to opposition.
You’ve got power trip in your soul.
Mrs. Grinch. 

I wouldn’t trust you, with an
Eight hundred n’ fifty billion stimulus.

You’re dividing Washington, Mrs. Grinch,
You’re without regard for America,
Incapable of respecting,
You have all the intentions
Of your personal ideals.
Mrs. Grinch.

Who is this Grinch you ask?
Here are two quotes, see if you can guess without clicking on the links.

“Yes, we wrote the bill. Yes, we won the election.” - That surely shows regard to others with ideas, because everyone else must be wrong.

“If people are ripping your face off, you have to rip their face off” - Because that will solve the problem?

It’s no lie, I don’t like that women and I hope Obama sets her straight… and soon. Obama, your getting it right by engaging in discussions!

+1 point for Team-O

22 January 2009 in Apple, Barack Obama, Computers, Democrats, Nerd, Reality, Winter | No comments

I hope Obama’s staff will be able to use their Apple computers soon. I think it’s funny that the most secure, technologically advanced and reliable operating system was not being utilized in a location where security and reliability are paramount. At-least Team-O knows what the right tools are for the job!

“The team members, accustomed to working on Macintoshes, found computers outfitted with six-year-old versions of Microsoft software. Laptops were scarce, assigned to only a few people in the West Wing. The team was left struggling to put closed captions on online videos.” (by Anne E. Kornblut - Washington Post)

Seriously, six-year-old versions of Microsoft could be Windows XP. I don’t know what the world loves about XP!? (I mean, IT people like it because it’s job security and hackers obviously love it :p.) It’s out of date, clunky, ugly, slow, uses resources unefficiently, prone to viruses, has limited security abilities out of the box and most of all its not intuitive. (Funny, that list covers everything I define as the Government!) It’s 2009 people, move with the times! I don’t understand why companies and people don’t migrate to a new OS rather than patching the ever-sinking XP ship. I understand some programers resist change because that means more work for them in redevelopment (especially because everytime Microsoft seems to roll out a new OS its time to redevelop the wheel - not so with windows 7?? who knows.

Here the funny thing though, IF more people migrated to the macs… job performance would be improved because there would not be the 10/15 minuets you sit waiting for windows to boot up (Vista is as bad as XP), there would not be the virus issues because default settings and security features prevent an automated tack over (virus are still possible but at a much less deadly level), its a very intuitive operating system to manage and train users and finally, programmers who develop for the mac do not have to reinvent the wheel every time the a new OS is released. Apple has a reputation of keeping backward compatible (yes, some apps need a minor tweak when a major upgrade is released – but its by no means an overhaul.)

Anyway, I’m tipping my hat to team Obama for using macs, heres hoping the world follows suit with the White House Apples.

Team-O, breaking in the White House change:

Congratulations America!

5 November 2008 in Barack Obama, Bush, Clinton, Democrats, Election, Politics | 4 comments

Congratulations America! You have just elected a fantastic political speaker and public manipulator who unfortunatly does not agree with our founding fathers, whom which I’m sure are turning in their graves right now.

You have voted for change! And when that socialistic change trickles down in the form of higher taxes, more national debt, less personal liberty, less decisions when he signs a bill as “present” and a screwed up health care system like England’s… I can atleast say, you voted for it America.

As for me? Luckily I can hide much of my income under the table to prevent my wealth from being distributed.

On the positive side, I’m happy America was able to vote a black man into office, just a shame it was this one. Adam said it well. 

On the brighter side, Atleast this guy will probably keep his pants on in the oval office. Bush had no chance of getting any like his predecessor.

Eve of election thoughts

4 November 2008 in Democrats, Politics, Ron Paul | 1 comment

Forward 1: So die-hard democrat fans, I’m sorry… you will probably disagree with everything I say. I am not here to change your mind, because the universe sure as hell knows that aint possible.

Forward 2: Most of you who know me, know I am a Libertarian. I vote Libertarian. I breath Libertarian. If I ever find a female Ron Paul, I’ll be marrying her tomorrow. Normally I just sit back and laugh and move on knowing that I am doing the best I can with support to the Libertarian party. This time though… I’m actually really nervous for this country if a certain candidate gets elected.

Having said that, I will say this. Since about mid-summer when I realized that Obama was going to be a presidential candidate I started looking deep into his records, past, viewpoints and thoughts. What I found is that I believe him to be very anti-American. In contrast though, I wouldn’t be worried if it was Biden or Hillary being president. It is solely Obama I am against… and don’t anyone mention race, because we all know its not that.

I find Obama to be anti-American who just smooth talks people into hearing what they want to hear. Most people just say “Amen brother” and agree to vote for him. Then there are people like me who say… uhh WHAT!? Because we look at the fine print and meaning.

We question the basic items about the man:

  • Why was it like pulling teeth to get him to wear the American Flag?
  • Why does he flick off his opponents? (He did it to Hillary & now McCain.)
  • Why is he afraid to release his original birth certificate?
  • Doesn’t it bother anyone that he votes, “Present.” Seriously, a leader makes decisions.
  • After listening to 20 years of hate spewed by his reverend… why did he now decide to break ties with him? Listening to so much hate sinks in over time… and he only broke ties with him because of his candidacy.
  • Am I the only one terrified over his economic ideas? Bankrupt the coal industry? “Spread the wealth?” Tax me more? I have a hard enough time staying afloat, and you want to tax me more?!
  • Why did he kick every member of the press who did not endorse him off the plane? It takes an endorsement to be part the O-press corps? Because endorsements mean non-biased reporting.
  • I love your unrealistic and bankrupting propositions that seem to have spun off the TV series, The West Wing. Seriously, good idea… just need a realistic approach to implementing them, to which he forgot to mention.
  • - An energy plan that is essentially rabbit power?

——–

  • Why can I not come up with nearly as many question about McCain? 
  • My main fear with McCain is he wants to keep fighting wars. :(
  • That I have several main fears with Obama compared to the couple for McCain. 

 

Hope everyone has a great voting day! I’m gonna leave you with two final thoughts.

“People should not fear their government, their government should fear the people” – bigger the government and more control placed on a society = less freedom = more fear. Who is the one proposing those controlling socialist ideals?

One of the great leaders this country has had is Teddy Roosevelt. (Source) “Roosevelt had no tolerance for laziness, indecision, cowardice, or those who prefer to sit life out on the sidelines and criticize others. He respected those who made the effort to get in the arena.”  - I can tell you one candidate who has not gotten in the arena and has a habit of cowardice and indecision… Mr. I’m voting “Present.”

With that, I conclude the 2008 pre-election political posts!

Very Liberal ehh?

2 November 2008 in Barack Obama, Democrats, McCain, Politics | 5 comments

I asked one of my female friends the other day who was bleeding Obama-mania and supporting Obama nation why she was doing that. Her response, “I’m very liberal at heart…”

My response to her was, “Liberal at heart and liberal in politics are two different things, because people who are truely liberal often disagree with the democrats for their historically ‘controlling’ & big government policies.”

Moral of it all: Just because it’s cool to be “very liberal” when your in the famous 20’s doesn’t mean its necessarily the right thing.

After all… what are all we bloggers going to do when Obama taxes the electric companies to bankruptcy and we have no more power? If wind, solar and other alternatives were available, we’d be already using them… trust me. Someone is just wanting to start a fortune 500 that pulls clean electricity out of the sky! The overhead costs would be significantly lower than a traditional power plant. If the technology was there, we’d be using it.

Despite the belief, I’m a firm believer if you are interested in voting for the lesser of the evil – it is John McCain. He seriously is quite different than Bush (despite what Obama’s ads say) and he would have a strong administration surrounding him. But I’ll have more on “the lesser of evil” in a post I hope to publish tomorrow, I just have to finish refining it.

Ofcourse we all know, I’m a bleeding Libertarian.  ”More Freedom, Less Government = Less Taxes“

A Politician’s Dream

Gas Blamers

20 September 2008 in Bush, Democrats, Independent, Pelosi, Republicans | 1 comment

I saw this the other day (on ebaum’s world) and just had to comment:

Bumper Sticker

And when democrat Nancy Pelosi took office on a pledge to lower gas prices in 2006, prices were at $2.29 p/gal.

So lets look at this…
From 2000 to 2006 thats $1.46 to just $2.29, which equates to $0.83 p/gal increase over 6 years.

After Pelosi took office in 2006 on the pledge to lower gas prices its now 2008 and prices have spiked to an average of $4.11 p/gal. Thats almost a $2 p/gal increase in 18 months! 

I’m sorry, I’ll take the $0.83 p/gal increase over 6 years any day to the 2 dollars in 18 months.

STOP THE UNMERITED BLAME!

It’s not right to just blame Republicans, it’s not right to just blame the Democrats. If we don’t want higher energy prices, then we need an energy plan that puts responsibility for energy into our hands.

Unmerited Blame

20 September 2008 in Barack Obama, Bush, Democrats, Election, Independent, McCain, Nonspecific, Politics, Republicans | No comments

I don’t understand why the Democrats are constantly blaming Bush for the mortgage crisis which is now affecting wall street. The problem with blaming Bush is he doesn’t control investors.

I HATE it when people blame Bush for problems he has no control over. What do you expect… him to think and control the investors like puppets? If he is thinking and controlling investors, how is it a free society then? And if you want him to control the investors, would that be American? He has no control over peoples greed on wall street… so why do the Democrats keep blaming him? I don’t know! I hate the blame game.

Here is a fantastic NPR story about the situation: audio clip from morning addition 19 September 2008.

From the feature, there are clearly other companies and investors that should be held responsible.

There are several things that I don’t agree with Bush about, but I don’t go around blaming him for things that are out of his control. I find this election season really annoying because the Democrats are blaming Bush for every known problem in the world and trying to relate it to John McCain. I believe there are some issues it’s fair to point the finger… but for the most part, alot of the finger pointing is unmerited. Sure, John McCain is not the saviour, but Obama Mania Barack is no where a lesser of the evil either.

I guess this is why I am neither Democrat or Republican, both parties worry more about blaming, finger pointing, gaining control and taking away liberty. My political views are summed up by the badge on the left.

It’s heerrrreee…

The latest addition to my equipment collection to provide me relief and escape from all the annoying election coverage which is hiding the interesting stories. (story 1, story 2)

This beauty is capable of 33, 45 and 78 rpm speeds. The 78 speed is the main reason I bought this unit so I can finally start listening to the 78’s I’ve acquired.

Personal Responsibility, we need more of it!

24 August 2008 in Barack Obama, Democrats, Election, Independent, McCain, Politics, Republicans, Ron Paul, leader | 3 comments

This country does not need an Obama-mania to change. This country does not need a decorated war veteran for change to happen. This country doesn’t even need an isolationist in power. This country needs to go back to it’s roots.

This country needs it’s citizen’s to stand up take some personal responsibility! We often worry to much about creating laws and passing restrictions rather than taking responsibility for our actions. It’s as if we’d rather point the finger and blame adamant objects before taking some responsibility.

You want the right to own a gun? Then take responsibility for it! Limiting guns and creating laws against them will not fix gun crimes. Stop trying to blame guns for the crimes… blame the criminals.

You want an educational system that works? Take action rather than blame.

You want the right to eat and chose your own health care? Then take responsibility for your health and start working out. Here is a great article that was in last week’s paper. Perhaps when manufacturing and labor jobs start etching their way back into our society, we will be come more fit as a nation.

This country was started because of people taking responsibility, I’d sure hate for that responsibility to go away.

Check out the article: It’s not the food, it’s the exercise (or lack thereof)

“The dietary difference between generations isn’t significant enough to explain the difference in weight. However, the change in activity is.”
