why I'm soooo conservative.part 4

Now there are more reasons than this that I have decided to become ultra conservative, but in order to explain them all and the hypocrisy of those that preach we should spread the wealth, it would take years and an entire book. I have come to learn that anything the left says is literal crap, and that they believe that only you and I need to follow these standards they talk about. The government officials have ascended to a higher place and us lowly people are no better than serfs. They actually want us to become these serfs by confiscating our wealth, and if you think for one moment that they are spreading it to the lower class, you really need your eyes opened. It goes to grow government. Has the war on poverty, introduced in 1964 by Lyndon B. Johnson, made a dent in the poor in this country? This was an extension of the Great Society, are we any better? The truth is that if you are able to keep your wealth, you have a fatter wallet, allowing you to be generous. It helps those small business owners and large corporations create jobs, because jobs don’t go from the poor to the rich, but from the rich to the poor. Obama and his administration would like you to believe that we need trickle up economics, not trickle down. Did he forget how gravity works???? The poor cannot support themselves let alone donate to this cause of trickle up. Right now we are at almost 20% unemployment in this country, and by taxing and penalizing companies, do you really think that jobs will be created? Now there is talk of punishing companies for not having insurance for their employees. No company is going to hire in this political climate where large companies are demonized. Or better yet, maybe they’ll send the jobs oversees, where foreign governments do not punish them for success. I always am thankful when I know that our government is out there helping the people of third world countries by helping to send jobs there. Hell, my shoes are cheaper!!! Everyone voted and many voted for change, but kind of like changing my hair color to purple, and getting some plugs in my ears, and maybe a nose ring, change isn’t always good.
For those that are interested in not transforming from sheep to thinking person check out these books:

Mark Levin “Liberty and Tyranny”
Thomas Payne “Common Sense” and if that is to deep use Glen Beck’s version with Thomas Paynes account included.
Peter Schweizer “Do As I Say Not As I Do, Profiles in Liberal Hypocrisy”
Glen Beck “Arguing with Idiots”

I have a few more posts about this subject but I am wrapping up here.

why I'm soooo conservative.part 3

Before I explain the little guy I need to express my great sadness today. Our constitutional rights are dying right before our eyes by people that laugh at us for even mentioning these rights, leaders who don’t even listen to the people, that want to enslave us economically, and by a leader who disapproves of this country so much he won’t even put his hand over his heart when the national anthem is sung,. I love my country, I fly her flag, I am a patriot and a constitutionalist. We live in a country that is the envy of the world, and we are destroying the freedoms that we love. We are about to enter servitude and we’re putting the chains on ourselves. Only 53% of young Americans believe that capitalism is a better system than socialism, source http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/general_politics/april_2009/just_53_say_capitalism_better_than_socialism.

Is our country dying??? I feel like I am in mourning today.

Ok, I said I would talk about the little guy and here we go, hang on this is crazy stuff. Let me start with our very own government dole. I have family and friends who have and are using our government entitlement programs. Be it SSI, food stamps or medicaid. I am not proud to say it but both my children were born on medicaid. They were both unplanned pregnancies, I was told I couldn’t have children, so didn’t carry insurance for this. Of course, by my second I should have known better. Does this make me a hypocrite? Maybe, but I needed to be in the system to understand how flawed it is ( I also learned how to scramble to try and keep my income low because I didn’t want to loose the coverage because I made a few dollars too many I also learned that I don't need the government and can make it on my own). I’m glad I was there, because how can you speak ill of it if haven't been or you are a rich politician, like so many of our own. How can you even know how to fix it if you sit on your throne and tell the masses how they need to live when our politicians are held to different standards and will never live among the masses, They will never have to enter any of the programs they are forcing onto us. When they talk about the high class, they are really and truly talking about themselves, as are any conservatives turned liberal (“REPUBICS” as Mark Levin calls them). Oh yes, even the conservative radio hosts talk ill of republicans.

The way entitlement programs work is simple, you are poor and you need help. You apply, they review it, and you get money. It’s wonderful, kind of like a big governmental Santa Claus. But there is a catch with it. If you earn one dollar over what they say you can earn (around $600 per month) you will loose it all.

Big deal you may say, let me do this in dollars and sense (notice not cents, of which there isn’t much of anymore) I have a child and earn $1,184 per hour at McDonald’s. Before taxes. With taxes maybe closer to $900 per month, I’m really looking forward to my tax return!!!!! Maybe I can fix my car. Now I got pregnant when I was 17 and never finished high school, but once my child reaches elementary school, I could get my GED and go to community college. There is still a chance for me to pull myself out of the mess I made. (Oh that’s how conservatives think, sorry need to go back to how government helps you to succeed, not us helping ourselves to succeed.) Oh crap $900 per month is a pittance, I need government help, plus my boyfriend just got me pregnant. I better apply for medicaid. I know the government will help me because they have been there before I just need get an app. and they check it twice,gonna find out if I'm naughty or nice, government money is commming to town , I just need to fill out some more forms. So now I have medicaid, and foodstamps, probably WIC, and maybe even section 8 housing although I am pretty sure I’m earning to much to receive help with my housing. More like $600 per month for that (usually an SSI recipent)(Now don’t get me wrong I do believe that there are people that need this help, Mainly people with permanent disablities SSI recipents. Not everyone has family that wants to help (I think that should be taken into account when deciding if we are going to be responsible for these people as they do in Korea, if an elderly person has family to take care of them they don’t get as much social security as those that have no family).

Back to poor sad girl who just found out she’s pregnant again. Everything is running smoothly until work makes her stay for two extra hours. ( See the government tells you what you can make, and any amount over that invalidates you for the programs that they have dumped you into). Pregnant girl just made $14.00 more than allowable. Do they take away $14.00 in food stamps? With all the case workers that attend her, you would think so, but that’s too much work. A month after her income is reported she gets a letter in the mail. She's been removed from the program for making more than the allowable amount. I actually had a friend (She had two boys, never finished high school, and her children’s father was caught cheating on her in a fire station with two women from a bar at the same time) work for two hours extra and ask McDonalds not to pay her because she would loose all her government benefits ($14.00 would cost her $1000 in benefits).

These were programs put in place to assist the poor, not keep them there. Most of these people will vote liberal, because to vote conservative is like cutting your own throat. NO ONE will ever get ahead on these programs because they do not allow you to save up or work harder to improve your state in life, there are no checks and balances so you can work your way up and out. As soon as you try to climb out there is someone with a shovel knocking you back down. If you are on medicaid and you make $10 over what is allowed you loose $300 per month (or more) in insurance. They don’t want you to leave these programs, and in fact would love to funnel everyone in. This is how they help the little guy. By keeping him the Little Guy, becuase it is almost a guaranteed vote.

I think most people don’t realize that once you are there, unless you marry someone wealthy enough, you can’t pull yourself out. It is near to impossible because liberals don’t want success in the masses, that’s why they are always talking about the evil rich people. If enough people hate the rich, condemn the rich, they stew in their own hatred and don’t see that they could be those rich people. That the rich aren’t holding them back but the party( and the repubics) they continue to vote for. (oh but wait, there are 237 millionairesup there, so who are they to condemn the rich?????) They want the poor to see the rich, and be jealous, and hateful. Covet they neighbor’s stuff, The more you do, the more power they have. They love it. Hatred is the fuel that feeds them.

why I'm soooo conservative.part 2

Now I was always under the impression that liberals were also for the little guy and minorities. Hell, so am I, that is compassion. Most people feel compassion is lacking in conservatives. The way our teachers and professors presented it, you would think they were just cold hearted, money grubbing, bastards. Well this fit really well into my liberal mind. I love the little guy, because I have been him (well actually her, because I never had any corrective surgery (it would be better sometimes to be able to stand and pee). I think most of us have experienced being at the bottom of the feeding trough. Conservatives seemed to be hardened against these poor souls, lost individuals, victims of society. I know the language. ***Caution: This is the messing with emotions area and I have learned to see that libs love playing here. All humans have a great deal of compassion, ( all except those conservatives) when we see suffering, doesn’t matter what form it takes, we want to run over and envelope it in our arms and kiss it to make it better. Conservatives don’t mess with emotions, they say screw you, suffer, right. Kind of like a sociopath or someone without a conscience. Wow! Conservatives look really bad at this point. To think they are usually religious, what God do they serve? Oh, on the other hand, the libs don’t really want to force religion down our throat or have the word God even mentioned, and they always point to the first amendment to show that it stands in the constitution. Separation of church and state right? Oh, but wait a moment, because if you take a moment to look at the constitution, there is no language stating “separation of church and state”, What is in the first amendment is this statement “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof”. In researching the church and state clause, I found out that we have been being lied to again. This was written in a letter by Thomas Jefferson in 1802, fifteen years after the constitution was written. You may read this letter yourself (just click on the word letter in my post). In case you still don't understand, Jefferson was stating that religions were protected from the state (in other words you could practice anything you wanted, if you wanted to create a religion based on worshiping a tv you were more than welcome. I think that religion actually exists).
Aha another chink in the glass, to bad it's so foggy. It wouldn't of taken me this long to get here.
Wow got off track there, back to the little guy in the next post, because that is where logic falls apart, and you start to see the true soul of the liberal.

Why I'm soooo conservative.part 1

My cousin said I am soooo conservative the other day, and I know most in my family think I am a little nuts, I also told myself that I would not add anything political on my blog, just keep it light hearted, but I want them to understand. This will be done in several posts, it will be long because I got here over several years and I will be going back and forth from present, past and future.

Once upon a time I was a moderate liberal, and through evolution of the mind I grew to be a moderate to sometimes severe right leaning wack-job. How did this transformation take place? I mean I used to be so easy to get along with politically. Let me explain what happened and how I came to where I am today .

First let me give you a background so you can see that I was liberal. First I watched “an inconvenient truth” (no caps, as I can’t give it any respect). The polar bears in plight really got me upset, the pictures of the glaciers disappearing, and the amount of people and pollution made sense. We’ve all thought things have been warm and unusual. Also saw Michael Moore’s “fahrenheit 911”. Wow was I pissed at our president. What a crook, in bed with big oil. When we talked about healthcare for all, back when the Clinton’s were in, I thought we really need this, there are so many poor out there. Everyone should have equal access. The poor, elderly, helpless children, single mothers, etc., should be taken care of. Everyone is a victim of their past and even if they murder all their children they should first be understood. The rich are evil for not sharing their goods, and the greed has to stop. Robin Hood shouldn’t be a fictional character but a true hero to look up to. Sad but true some of these beliefs still held true, up until two years ago.

After “farenheit 9/11” came out and I watched it, I was wandering around Blockbuster still pissed and not believing I had voted for Bush and I saw on the shelf “Farenhype 911”. Took it home and watched it and got pissed at Michael Moore for his lies. I realized that Bush wasn’t the criminal, nor America. I was really hating my country at this time, now my anger was directed where it should, to those that were perpetrating lies designed to make us hate our country and ourselves. It is working. I still had liberal thoughts. I just hated Michael Moore.

Then I saw “an inconvenient truth” and wanted a friend to watch it because her husband was so adamant that global warming is just a political game. I couldn’t even begin to understand that with my brain clogged up with liberal views and thought if he would just watch it, he would change his mind. I mean polar bears were going to die dammit! But what he said stuck in my mind. I didn’t actively go looking for proof that he was wrong, I still thought he was nuts. But one day trolling AM radio I stumbled on Sean Hannity’s radio show. I started listening to him, and lo and behold within a day or two he began to talk about global warming and how it is political. And suddenly my brain fired and I became engaged. Because more than anything I hate people that lie, and I found out that almost all my life, every source of news, the media, most of my teachers, NPR etc. had lied to me and played on my emotions, making me feel guilty for having anything more than someone else, thinking that this country is a terrible place and there are way better places in the world, hating the rich or as they say “the upper class, high class” as if we have classes in this country. They understand that when people think with their emotions, you can’t think logically. It literally muddles your brain. Even to this day I can get caught up in the media hype of things like swine flu, and I need my grounding voices to take me back to sanity, because they use our emotions to confuse us. That is why you can never waste an emergency. Even Bush knew this……

Things are returning to normal, so should my blog.....although.....

I think I went through the equivalent of postpartum depression with a dog. I can't even think what that would be called????? Canine-induced depression? Anyway, she is beginning to act like a normal dog. We are now working on training. I am teaching her to stand, sit (she has that pretty well down) lay, go through an agility tunnel, and many more fun things. I just wish I could get her to play with a ball. She is still extremely skittish around people, but I try and take her to the park and just have her sit and watch people. She can lay down and sleep in this atmosphere, so that is a huge thing for her.
I found out our swan, Romeo (he came with our house. No really, he was part of the deal) attacked one of our kid neighbors last year. He did some really bad damage, and I'm sure the psychological damage is pretty bad. I need to find him a new home. I won't have animals that attack people. One of my roosters is on death row presently for attacking my daughter. He had an expensive lawyer, but it didn't help. The jury was totally out on this one. He was found guilty and sentenced to beheading. He even attacked the judge after the verdict was read!!!!!
Romeo should have a death sentence,
but since he is a trumpeter swan (there is a law on the books about killing swans, his lawyer made sure the court knew this, what a mess that case was) he got a stay of execution, I am hoping to find a place for him where he can be with others of his species, kind of a hospital for the violently aggressive. I'm just lucky he didn't get me sued, but my gosh, the people never came and informed me of my bird's violent tendencies towards others. I just thought he was like that to me, my daughter, my mother, the cats, the dog, my not-related grandmother next door, the geese, the deer, um.........gosh I mean I just didn't have any idea he was aggressive. There were no warning signs!!!!! Hey look, I don't need handcuffs, please don't cuff me, I'm busy typing. Hey!!!!! don't put those on me, I have constitutional rights darnittt!!!!! No, no, not the rope, I told you I didn't know anything......ahhhhh!!!!!!............Help!!!!!!!

I think I really did loose my sanity there.

I will start by telling you that adopting a rescue is no picnic. I have been on an emotional roller coaster. First let me state that I am not a control freak, but like control of my life. For many years my life has been out of control and now that things are totally normal I decide to whip my existence into a frenzy. I must say also that sleep deprivation causes insanity and depression, I should know. Yesterday was so bad I almost fell asleep at the wheel.
The transition with the dog has not been the easiest. OK its been hell, for me anyway. I think she has adjusted better than I have. I realize now that when she has an accident in the house it is my failure. I have never punished her for this, I'm using the school of thought that you don't punish an animal for accidents or they will hide them from you, but it doesn't make it any easier to accept. For most of her training, again I go to Cesar Millan. I read Ceasar's Way in about a week and it really has helped with so many of her issues. Bubbles is an absolute joy to walk, I could spend hours with her on leash. She is a model of submission when on leash. With Ceasar's help from his book, she is almost over her fear of cars, although a semi set her back.
She is truly a wonderful dog, it's me that seems to be having issues. Everything that I deem as failure has me so depressed. In so many ways there is too much pressure on me for success. My daughter is totally attached to her, in fact when I mentioned to her that this may not work, she had a dream that Bubbles got cancer. My husband isn't fond of dogs to begin with and so I need to succeed so we can live in peace, and I can sleep in our bed again (I am sleeping on the couch attached to Bubbles by leash so that when she wakes up to go potty, she wakes me up. I tried crating her and that went very badly). I am so stubborn that I can't fail or I will fail myself. I realize that giving her up isn't an option, she is too attached to the family and I can't give her to someone else and hope she isn't abused again. She is so easily frightened, and men can terrify her. All it takes is a look from my husband and she pees from submission. Most people would be angry at her, I tell my husband he must clear his mind before approaching her if he is angry. We had two weeks of none of this behavior and then she upset my husband and off we went again. It is more like training of the humans, than of the dog. Cesar is too right. Hopefully I am not rambling to much, I will try to blog when I am not so tired. Goodnight :)

Good updates, Cesar Milan rules!!!!! and Peepers

Bubbles is not following me like a shadow anymore. We had some instances of growling at the kids, so I changed tactics with how the kids are handling her. She needs to see them as leaders and I think she wasn't. I picked up Cesar Milan's (from the Dog Whisperer) book "Cesar's way" and there is some really great insight. I have seen him on t.v. (who hasn't) and even on t.v. his soul just shines through. But reading his book has been so inspiring. Just his acknowledgments made me want to cry. He is so sincere, honest, and open. Anyone who is thinking or has a dog should read this book. I really can't say enough about it. I love Cesar Milan!!! I could go on all day about Cesar Milan......
new subject so I don't bore you.
What is this picture you may ask, it is a chick ball. We get chicks in the mail which is a little like mail-order brides because we expect them to work for their keep. When they come they are all huddles together in a cute and fluffy mass called a chick ball. There is no way to differentiate between first chick and next, it is just a big mass of cuteness peeping away.


(The chicks do not have an evil aura, they are being filmed under a red light)
Bubbles went with me this morning to pick them up. She had never heard peeping before and reacted with her usual caution. It took her a bit to actually sniff the noisy box. It is always fun to go to the post office at 7:00 in the morning and hear them being carried through the mail room towards the doorway. Even the mail people think it is cute. peep peep Peep Peep PEep PEep PEEP PEEP!!!! Chick fun!
