I got a call to go pick up two guys in a fancy hotel in Phoenix in my cab. When they got in the cab…I recognized from the accent they were from Scotland. We talked about William Wallace…while I drove them to their destination. They both proudly proclaimed to be Socialists. I said that was wonderful…and that we all had to be something. I explained that I belonged to the Tea Party…and had always leaned more towards the Republicans than the Democrats. And I took the time to educate them on American History…how the Civil War was fought between the Republican North and the Democratic South. How the Democrats were so upset about losing the Civil War…they started the Ku Klux Klan. They were soaking it in. It was a much different view than they had heard in college. We got to their destination. The meter said $28.00 … and I said the fare would be $48.00 for them. They protested and complained. I had to explain…the $28.00 was the fare for freedom loving Capitalists. The fare for Socialist was $48.00. They started laughing…and gave me $30.00…which was a two dollar tip. Guess they did not want to “share the wealth†after all. Guess they were not really Socialists…or else they made a transformation really quick to Capitalism. Socialism always sounds good…because you’re spending someone else’s money. That is why it always fails…you eventually run out of other peoples money to spend.

It was a grocery call...something most cab drivers hate. I pulled up in front of Food City...and an old woman sat on the bench...a cart with ten bags of groceries. oh joy... The Old Woman was Cambodian...I think. She had to be at least 80 years old...a hunched back and missing most of her teeth. After loading here bags in the trunk...and helping her get in the taxi...I crawled behind the wheel. She could not speak much English...but had her address on a card that someone had typed out for her. I understood...that is where she wanted to go. It was quite a job trying to find her apartment. A lot of pointing of fingers and her saying..."no...no...no..."but I finally got her to the little run down apartment she called home. I carried her bags up the two flights of stairs to the second floor apartment. She unlocked the door...it was very dark inside her apartment..no lights on. She turned and paid me the $7.00 it costs to take her home in the cab. Then she said, "SRP want more money!" The Old Woman was living in an apartment with no electricity. Oh Hell...I handed her the money back...and told her to have a good night. I'd returned to the cab and started to drive off...and I noticed two thugs leaning over her bags that were still sitting outside the door of her apartment. Grabbing my flashlight...I quietly made my way up the stairs behind the two thugs. In a loud angry voice...I told them to leave her stuff alone...and explained I'd be stopping back by from time to time to check on the old woman. She sat sobbing inside the door. Told me thank you as I carried her bags in and set them on the counter in her kitchen. Then I gave her my flashlight...and left. It was an LED flashlight and would last about 400 hours. At least she would have light for a few days. Yep...I'm an old softy... I lose more flashlights than anybody I know.

The book is slowly coming along...my book...true stories of things that happened to me as I'm driving a cab in one of America's largest cities. I answered a call last night, to pick up a young couple at a hospital in Phoenix that does a lot of charity work. It is the finest hospital in Phoenix, in my opinion. Neither the young man or young woman could speak much English...and the appointed hospital guide explained this to me. She said they were both really nice people and had just had a baby. The hospital guide made me promise that I'd get this little family home safe.
Their baby was in a new car seat provided by the hospital...and after getting them all loaded up, I drove them across town to a run down apartment complex. It was pretty much a quiet cab ride...as they could not speak my language and I could not speak theirs. Only the quiet little sounds of a new born baby...a New American baby...
These were immigrants...and very poor. They'd made the journey to America...to try and better their lives. The young woman had some pretty bad scars...from an explosion and fire. Her face was very scarred and the pain she had suffered in her life was visible for the world to see. We pulled up to the apartment complex...and the door flew open...the rest of their family spilled out to see the new born. You don't have to be able to speak the language of immigrants to understand what they are saying. It was a beautiful display of "Love." The fare was being paid by the State...and I closed the trunk of the cab and started to walk around and get back in the vehicle. The family was safely inside their little apartment...and I'd fulfilled my promise to get them home safe. Before I could get in the taxi and leave...the door of the apartment flew open...and this young man came running out...he stopped in front of me and grasp my hand...looking me right in the eye. He said probably the only words of English that he knew, "Thank you!" He said it three or four times...over and over again. I drove away...asking God to keep an eye on these folks...and thought about them for quite a while. These people came to America...had seen much violence and endured much pain in their lives...and they were so appreciative. It was not like the people born in America...with their entitlement mentality...people that think the Gub'ment owes them. These were immigrants that appreciated everything that had been done to help them. The Doctors and Nurses...and even the old cab driver that got them home from the hospital. Were they Indonesian? Or maybe Vietnamese or Cambodian...? Who knows...and who cares? They were people...human beings that were trying to build a life in a new world. There is no Black Race...or Asian Race...there is only one Race of people in the world...the "Human Race."

We are done...as a nation it's over... The debt is at 15 trillion dollars...and that is 25% of all the money that's in the world! Only a few of those in Washington understand or even care. It is just more business as usual. They will raise the Debt-Ceiling...again. They'll claim it is "irresponsible" to not raise the Debt-Ceiling...and convince the people it must be done. That is like calling your credit card company and asking them to raise your credit limit...and claiming it's the only way to get out of debt. ??? Tell your credit card company it would be "irresponsible" to not raise your credit limit. Try it...and let me know how it works out for you.
It was a bloody fight to just cut 38 billion last weekend...and that is like cutting a 5 cents off $1,500. It did not amount to enough to make a difference. Pay as much as you can on your bills...start buying canned food that you can survive on in desperate times. Start buying bottled water and putting it on your storage shelves. I'm like the guy holding the sign..."THE END IS NEAR!" But...the end is much nearer than most people can understand. We are collapsing as a nation...while the Left & Right keep everyone's attention with the smoke & mirrors of politics... Nobody wants to say it...but I will... "We are an insolvent nation..." The plan has worked...Capitalism was used to destroy Capitalism...we allowed those in power to get us in debt so deep...so quickly...we are done. I wonder what they'll call the next country...hmmm...I know, "THE UNITED PROGRESSIVE STATES OF AMERICA"

Shut the government down…do it now…it may be our only hope. I remember when the government shut down for about three months during the Clinton Administration. The people on Social Security still got their checks. I don’t remember any Soldiers not being paid…. These kind of checks are done automatically and they will still be sent. I think what is being said is scare tactics…which is something Democrats are very good at. Nancy Pelosi claims old people will starve to death… Oh please…just stop it Ms Pelosi.lol Maybe shutting the government down for a while is a good idea…at least they won’t be able to get us deeper in debt! The power of government is the ability to raise taxes…to take more of our earnings…whether we like it or not. Shut down The Beast…take the power away from the government…after all…they are more like a gub’ment anyway. Hmmm…I wonder if the government does shut down and Nancy Pelosi is not in front of all those bright lights for the camera. Will her face harden up? I mean…the woman only blinks about once every five minutes. I’m thinking all that plastic will harden up and she won’t be able to blink at all… Will Harry Reid’s voice start to sound like an adult male after he’s had some rest? Can Barney Frank stay out of prison…because there won’t be a Boy Scout Troop in America that will be safe. When will Hillary Clinton stand up and tell Borat Insane Obozo that his Clown policies just don’t work? Will Bill & Hillary get divorced? Because if the government shuts down…they will be forced to spend a lot more time together. And this will hurt the earnings of the Street Walkers in NYC. Will the News Reporters finally investigate David Sinclair & Donald Young? Maybe somebody should figure out why Mr. Young was killed anyway! One thing…I listened with great interest to the interview of Ron Paul & Dennis Kucinich last weekend on FOX. I have always had much respect for Ron Paul…but I’ve got a new found respect for Dennis Kucinich. I even called his office early in the week and told them so. Maybe they should run on an Independent Ticket together. I’d vote for a Paul/Kucinich Ticket…or at least I’d think about it really strong. Okay…that’s my ramble today. Let me have it…lol. I can take it…

Is this a blog? I don’t know…it’s more of an observation. I’m very disgusted with America…and have feelings about this country that I’ve never had before. America can secure the border between North & South Korea…but they can’t secure our own borders in this country. ??? What is that about, anyway? I’ve watched as many Americans jumped with joy when Obama demanded that Mubarak step down in Egypt. Who is Obama to demand any other World Leader resign from their positions in their government? He is the President of The United States, not the Dictator of The World. And now the poor people in Egypt no longer live under a Dictator…but survive on their knees with a Military Dictatorship. Now, Obama has Our Soldiers fighting on the side of Islomo-fascism…instead of fighting against it. The information just keeps leaking out…that many of the people fighting to take over Libya are Al Qaeda members…as they keep intercepting cell phone calls from the battle field saying just that. These affairs are both the same. It is the desire of many people fighting on the same side…but not for the same common goal. Some people do want Democracy in Egypt & Libya…but many others are fighting to remove the Dictators…because they want to install Ayatollahs…to rule these countries with iron fists. We have no business in Libya…or telling a Dictator in that country to step down. The people in Libya have gone from dodging bullets shot at them by their own soldiers…to dodging the bombs being dropped on them from Our Soldiers. Like that is some kind of improvement? This whole thing in Libya, has been a lie from the very start. Obama said we were only going to uphold a No Fly Zone…and then immediately started shelling their countryside. Obama claimed we have no boots on the ground and would not ever have boots on the ground. Anyone with knowledge of how the Military really works knows this is bullshit. And now…it comes out Obama approved Covert Operations on the ground in Libya two weeks ago. Covert Operations is code words for boots on the ground. I’m disgusted…and never thought I’d see American Soldiers fighting FOR Islomo-fascism. Obama said he would take this country in a new direction of the war when he was elected. Is this the direction you thought he would take us? And we have so many of our own problems to deal with right now. I’m disgusted…and ashamed to have Obama as the President of this country. I promise to work very hard to make sure Obama does not get re-elected. Why? Because Obama is toxic to this country…toxic to the World actually. Obama did not even ask for Congress to approve this Military Action…because he knew that the majority would not support Our Soldiers fighting in support of islamic Extremists. That’s just the way I see it. If Obama cared about America…he would resign in shame this very day. He has proven that he does not have the experience to be President of The United States. Obama has proven that he supports Sharia Law and not Freedom & Democracy around the World. This is a new experience for me…as I’ve supported every Military Action our country has been invlved with since I was born. And while I support Our Soldiers and hope they come home safe…I cannot support this Military Action. It’s wrong…wrong on so many levels and for many reasons. Obama is trying to appear Hawkish and appeal to the Center & the Right…and it’s not working. If anything…Obama is hurting himself greatly in the polls. Hey…you worthless fools in Washington…it’s time to impeach Obama and put him on trial for Treason. Get off your lazy asses and do your jobs for a change!

No, the title is not a mistake…it is a true and accurate description of the Party Of Slavery, the Party Of Baby Killers…the Democratic Party. I grew up in Illinois, and went through Public School in the Land Of Lincoln. When I learned in History Class that Abraham Lincoln was the first Republican Elected President…and that he freed the slaves and ended slavery…well, I knew right then I wanted to be a Republican. The Republican Party was formed for one reason, TO END SLAVERY! At the time the two parties that existed were the Democratic Party and the Whig Party, and neither Party wanted to end slavery, as they were both quite comfortable the way things were. The rich Democratic Plantation owners wearing white suits…sitting in the shade drinking iced tea…while Blacks were in chains and forced to work in the fields. The Democrats bought and sold human beings, and from the womb to the tomb…they kept them in chains, or working under armed guards (Red Necks). That is how the Democrats were at the time, the Redneck Democratic Party. Not much has changed…has it? Sure…they elected Barack Hussein Obama as President…but why? Out of guilt…or because deep down inside the Democrats have wanted to destroy America since they lost the Civil War. The Democrats wanted to break away from America, and start a New Country…full of “Hope & Change†and the United States Government would not allow it. Democrats took up arms against their fellow countrymen and roughly 625,000 Soldiers and 50,000 Civilians died because of their actions. All for greed and laziness. Democrats that would rather fight than work…hmmm…sounds like things have not changed. Sure…you can say that is all in the past…but is it? Has it been that long ago that the Democratic Party tapped the phone lines of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.? The Democrats gave Dr. King a living nightmare to endure while he was alive. The Democrats not only tapped his phone lines, they put out propaganda out that he was a Communist and a womanizer. And in the end…it was a Ku Klux Klan Democrat that shot him. The Democratic Party had branded Dr. King with a label…they claimed he was a dangerous man. They still do this kind of labeling. The Democratic Party labels Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck to be dangerous people. In my opinion, most Democrats have not even taken the time to listen to Mr. Limbaugh or Mr. Beck…they just take whatever the Democratic Party tells them for granted. What I’m talking about at this point is Modern History…like when Democrat Governor George Wallace of Alabama stood in the doorway of The University of Alabama and would not let Blacks enter college. Like Democrat Sen. Robert “KKK†Byrd claiming to no longer be a member of the Ku Klux Klan, yet only two years before he died, he claimed that he still recruited new members for the Klan. Or look at how the Democrats treated Condi Rice & Colin Powell when Bush was in Office. The Democrats called them Bush’s House N####r (N-word). It’s too vile to even write…but Democrats don’t have a problem with spewing such hatred. Nothing has changed…it’s just the tactics have changed. The Democratic Party is the Party of Welfare Checks…but the Republican Party is the Party of Pay Checks. The Democratic Party today wants to keep the people “enslaved†to the Party, by using Entitlement Programs. VOTE FOR US AND WE’LL GIVE YOU FREE HOUSING, FREE UTILITIES, FREE FOOD, FREE MEDICAL CARE, FREE MONEY TO SPEND AS YOU LIKE, FREE CELL PHONES, FREE HOME PHONES, FREE INTERNET CONNECTIONS AND FREE COLLEGE FUNDING AND EVEN FREE MONEY TO SPEND IN COLLEGE. Why would anyone refuse such an offer? Just vote for the Party Of Slavery…the Democratic Party…and they will continue giving away money until they finally have broken the Bank and destroyed this country. The the Democratic Party can start that new country they wanted 150 years ago…and they can call it The New Progressive Marxist States Of America. There are two ways to destroy a country…one is through military action, the other is to spend it into insolvency. We watched this happen with The Soviet Union. When they became insolvent, they had to form a new country…Russia. These Democrats in Office today want to destroy America…to spend us into insolvency and end our free way of life. Barack Hussein Obama openly admits he is a Progressive, and a Progressive is a Marxist. http://www.u-s-history.com/pages/h1669.html I’m not labeling anyone here…I just gave you a linkl so you can educate yourself. Notice who came to America and started the Progressive Movement. Notice where they came from and what their goal was. Notice where the Progressive Movement was founded in America. It was Madison, WI. and it’s no coincidence the Teachers in Wisconsin have been on strike and physically abusing anyone who disagrees with them. Nothing has changed…The Democratic Party today is a user of people…they are the slavers who want to keep people enslaved to the Democratic Party. It is just another form of slavery…ECONOMIC SLAVERY! Bet it makes you proud to be a Democrat….huh? Like Dr. King said, “I can never belong to the Democratic Party with their history of violence and slavery!†It’s your choice in the next Presidential Election, you can either vote Republican and for Freedom, or you can vote Democrat and slavery. If you vote Democrat…remember that Barack Hussein Obama has taken over control of 2/3rds of the Auto Industry, 80% of the Banks, 100% of the Health Care Industry and last month the Obama Crime Family (FCC) voted to take control of the Internet in OUR COUNTRY! If you vote Democrat…you can expect more of the same…the Government take over of Private Industry. That is what Marxists do…

Why???

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labor_unions_in_the_United_States Why has Union Membersip fallen to it’s lowest point since 1932? http://www.bls.gov/news.release/union2.nr0.htm Why are there more Union Members in the Government than there are in the Private Sector? Now it’s time for my opinion.lol The Mafia quit Unionizing the Private Sector…when they saw the profit to be made by a corrupt system of Government. Not that the Government does not take care of it’s workers, but where is the big money to be made? Our Government pays $20,000 for a toilet seat that we can buy at Walmart for $19.95. That is the kind of corruption I’m talking about here. Plus…what better way to control the Government…than by controlling the Government Workers? It’s the power grab…and ALL Governments are corrupt…as ALL Unions are corrupt. They go so good together…huh? The CEO of the AFLCIO, Richard Trumka said, “I got into the labor movement, not because I want to negotiate wages. I got into the labor movement because I saw it as a vehicle to do MASSIVE SOCIAL CHANGE.†http://www.thenewamerican.com/index.php/usnews/politics/5817-union-head-richard-trumka-sees-afl-cio-as-socialist-vehicle Richard Trunka could care less about helping anyone…but himself. The man has raised his salary $74,000 a year…earning $238,975 a year at present. This is a salary higher than a Senator…which makes $174,000 a year. Richard Trumka is working with European Socialists to create a Global Tax…to redistribute the wealth. Something that is talked about at any Communist Party USA meeting. http://lonelyconservative.com/2010/09/obamas-labor-pal-trumka-pushes-for-global-tax/ It’s pretty simple…the Unions decided to make an attempt at taking over the Government…and they started with the Government Workers years ago. The Unions quit focusing on the Private Sector…where they could really do some good to help the workers. Why? To work towards making this a Socialist Country. They’ve got the right President in there to do just that…President Obama. Just my opinion…

Unions should not be allowed in the Government Sector…we see the results of what happens if this is allowed. We have Teachers in Wisconsin that obviously do not care about educating the children…if they did…they’d be in the classroom teaching the kids. Why is it, that the Military is not Unionized? If Unions are so good for America…why is it that Our Soldiers are not PAYING FOR PROTECTION and giving their money to Thugs? Could you see that? “I’m not charging that hill Sarge…it’s in my contract that I do not have to attack the enemy after 5 p.m..†The Unions are no longer needed in this country anyway. People are much better educated…we no longer have a country where the average person only has a sixth grade education. Either a company pays their employees well enough to keep them happy…or the employee will quit and go where they can make more money. If an employee wants a raise in pay…then the employee’s work performance and work record will speak for them. You want a raise? Do a great job and then approach your Employer and ask them. If they say “Noâ€, start looking for a job that will pay you what you are worth. Don’t go cry to some thug and pay somebody to protect you. If the Unions had been fair…and provided protection for employees that deserved to be protected…but they went too far…the Unions have protected workers who do not do their jobs. We’ve seen it again and again…and it has ruined what was once a good idea. We needed Unions…back in the 1940′s & 50′s…but the day of the Union has past. Tell them to take the Unions back where they belong…in the Soviet UNION! Oops! They can’t go back there…the Soviet Union is no longer there. hmmm…guess that Union didn’t work out too well…huh?
