Confessions of a dorky blogger

dorky

I can tell you this from personal experience, blogging is hard — harder than a frozen crowbar.

It’s not easy finding inspiration and then slaving over words, worrying, fussing, revising; mindful of what an unseen reader will think.

But in all perfect honesty, I don’t know why anyone would care about my opinion or what I have experienced. We all have lives. We’re all busy. We all have our own experiences and views. What makes me think I’m special? What am I, some sort of expert? No. So why go through all the trouble to put myself out there?

Well…. The truth is, there are two things I wish for when I write. One is to get you to see things the way I do, and the other one, perhaps more important to me is, I want you to like me. Plain and simple. I don’t know why — I just do. It’s crazy! I’m such a dork!

But doesn’t everyone want to be recognized; to be appreciated? Doesn’t that just make me human?

So it’s Saturday afternoon, and I’m sitting with my computer fussing and wishing I were eloquent. But it’s no use today. Maybe another post on another day.

I’ve got to tell you, this blogging thing is hard.

Hydrogen Barackside

I just wanted to let everyone know that this stuff really works — I am now officially unemployed for the first time in my adult life, and the company that I worked for will probably be forced to close its doors soon thanks to socialist economics and super-hero Barack Obama.

And with reduced competition and the inflation that trillions of dollars worth of un-backed curency flooding the market will cause, you can be sure that the products we used to bring you will increase in price while your wages drop and your money becomes worthless.

Thanks Obama — Lovin’ the change!

What, no Google Doodle for 911?

Occasionally Google includes special modifications or funny features to it’s famous logo. These are called Google Doodles, and they usually commemorate special dates such as Holidays, or birthdays of noted people.

Eight years ago, on this date, 19 Al-Qaeda terrorists hijacked four commercial passenger jet airliners, and deliberately crashed them.

Two planes were crashed into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York. (Within two hours, both towers collapsed.)

The third plane crashed into the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia, killing everyone on board in addition to 125 occupants of the Pentagon.

The fourth aircraft, which the hijackers had redirected toward Washington DC, crashed into a field in rural Pennsylvania after the passengers attempted to re-take control of the plane. (All were killed)

In total 2,974 innocent people (not including the hijackers) died in the attacks.

Many people consider this to be the worst terrorist attack in US history, and I agree. Nearly all who died were innocent people going about their daily lives.

I will never forget that day, and the rippling effects of that tragic event are sill felt throughout this country today!

That’s why I find it surprising that, today of all days, Google’s logo remains fully stock and unchanged.

Michael Jackson got a Google Doodle for his Birthday (see it here), and Korean Liberation Day was commemorated with the very logo pictured at the top of this post. But Sept. 11  slips by without a nod. (?)

What’s up with that, Google?!?

The Pied Piper of Healthcare

Obama_pied_piper

I’m just wondering how bad things have to get before Obama Lovers wake up and smell the burning country.

Some time ago, an anonymous commenter responded to one of my old posts (The Obama Generation) where he wrote, and I quote:

you all don’t understand what are country is going through and that President Obama is the one who will help us out of this. when this happens you will all feel like idiots

So now — many months later — I’m trying to think whether I feel like an idiot or not. And I really have to admit; I love it when people who are barely literate, are unable to construct even a basic English sentence, and have an advanced degree in burger flipping, turn out to be experts on leadership, economics, and financial policy –and– make a point to inform me of how I’m an idiot for not seeing the obvious — that they are total geniuses, and know that Barack Obama is the savior of the Universe.

Well, so far, Barack Obama and the Democrat Congress (CONgress being the inverse of PROgress, in this case) have absolutely wrecked the economy just as I predicted they would. Who’s feeling like an idiot now, Anonymous? Huh?

And it get’s worse. You’ve only seen the beginning. The new Healthcare plan that they’re talking about will absolutely crush what’s left of our broken economy under a massive — like never before seen — tax burden and debt load. You think things are are bad now? You think your healthcare is too expensive? Wait till you’re paying tens of thousands a year in extra taxes to pay for Obamacare!

“But wait!”, you say. “Obama said he’ll only raise taxes on the rich and big business.”

It can’t be done. We’re talking trillions of dollars here, people! There is no way on God’s Green Earth our crippled economy can tolerate that kind of additional abuse. The financial burden of Obama Care will be passed down to you when the upper tiers of the economy fail to support the massive weight of it. The government will be forced to raise your taxes.

Obots, I’m talking to you.

Taxing the wealthy and business owners is not the solution to everything. Who do you think employs your mindless bodies? Who do you think produces everything you buy when you go to the store? What’s going to happen to the prices you pay when massive taxes are imposed on the producers? What do you think is going to happen to your job when your employer can’t afford to insure you, or even pay you any more?

Barack Obama is lying about the feasibility of his plan. You have to understand this. Government is a poor producer. It can’t do anything by itself. It can’t take care of you — it depends on you! Most people in this Administration and the Congress haven’t even read the healthcare bill they’re selling to you. If you’re thinking about buying something, is the highly commissioned salesman the best person to give you advice about it? NO!

Trust me, there aren’t enough rich people in this country to pay for this healthcare plan, and even if there were, they wouldn’t be rich for long. By supporting this bill, you’re opting to put the screws to your employer and your neighbors — probably even putting them out of business, and complaining at the same time about unemployment and layoffs!

But in truth, it’s not even about healthcare, it’s about breaking the back of our free market system so that the enemies of this country can destroy your wealth, make you dependent, and end the American way of life.

Obama is nothing more than a Pied Piper (a professional manipulator), and Americans are the unfortunate children being lead away forever by a happy tune.

Good luck with that, and don’t say I didn’t warn you. I’m not the one who will be feeling like an idiot in the future, but if you support Obamacare, and it passes, I’m pretty sure you will.

Michael Moore IS a Capitalist!

michaelmoore

He says capitalism is evil — has declared an all-out war on it — and yet Michael Moore has made his personal fortune selling his movies and documentaries for profit. That makes Michael Moore a CAPITALIST and according to his own definition — evil.

But what Michael Moore really is, is a bombastic hypocrite — a raging case of “Do as I say, not as I do.”

And while Mr. Moore runs around trashing America and berating everything it stands for, he engages in the very freedoms and pursuits that he claims the rest of us have no right to enjoy.

Capitalism and success for him, communism and oppression for the rest of us.

Personally, I suspect that Mr. Moore is not so stupid that he actually believes his own rhetoric (if he did he wouldn’t resort to outright lies to make his points), but that he’s been duped into believing that by helping the communist underground rise to power he’ll be a respected member of it, maybe placed in a position of prominence — that he’ll be be spared from the ugly fate that he helped thrust upon his betrayed country and fellow men.

He is a capitalist, after all, and in his sick way, he’s trying to capitalize on the slavery, oppression, and eventual destruction of the greatest economic engine ever known in the history of the world, and the people who lived (prosperously) under it for a time.

He doesn’t care if he destroys you in his quest to be a king, as long as he’s rich, fat, and comfortable. He’ll sell us all out for his chance to sit at the top.

But trust me, Mr. Moore, you’re just a useful idiot, and you’ll be thrown in the pit with the rest of us when it’s all said and done.

You can bank it! You’re a Mooron!

LOL

LOL

It’s too bad that communism is no laughing matter.
