Crying in your beer Ramblings

Crying in your beer Ramblings…..


I don’t know whether I feel worse that the Redskins and Steelers are losing or that the GOP has taken some knocks in the election held yesterday. It is a sad day in Gipperville!!! It is also a happy day in certain circles in Iran, Iraq and North Korea. At last they may get rid of their nemesis, Rumsfield.

The winning of the House yesterday and, as of this writing, the likely winning of the senate by the Democrats can only mean that the next two years will be the vindication of all that the Democrats have been preaching these past several years that “Bush is Bad” and his policies are worse. It is actually a sad day in the history of the country. The Democrats learned a lot from the past several elections and mimicked the Republican machine in winning this fight. I guess it may have been necessary to preserve a second party in this country, as another loss would most certainly have disbanded the Dems as we know them. There may also be another ray of hope in that many of the new Democrats who prevailed over old Republicans appeared to more centrist than the elders of either party.

I wrote these sentiments in November and now as Christmas approaches, it is becoming clear that the Democratic machine has not only been successful in re-taking the congress, but now seems poised to make a serious run at the presidency. Obama has suddenly become a major candidate gaining popularity with the young people of the nation as the “Rock Candidate”. I can’t figure out what that means, but I bet that Begalia and Carvelle will jump on it. Unless of course, Hillary decides to run and not throw her support to him. Many doubt that tho, as Hillary has been pointed to the White House ever since she and Bill and Monica left.

The antics of Carvelle and Begalia were felt as the election year of 2004 progressed. They were able to take the meanderings of Michael Moore and George Soros and feed it to the American public with much more success than the original perpetrators ever had. It was “no holds barred” and little concern was given to the welfare of the country in succeeding in their task of belittling Bush and his administration. There is no doubt that History will remember Bush fondly despite the recent Bush hatred that now seems so prevalent. Bush has been right and the left has been wrong. The “boys” really did their job of convincing the American people otherwise with twisted facts and repeated advertisements. They were relentless. Sooner or later as the people tired of the long war, any answer looked good!!! It really didn’t matter to the Dem spinmasters that they were doing harm to our country as they believed (I guess) that unless it was their socialistic, secular version, it wasn’t worth anything anyway.

This Obama thing has been making me think about how the young people of the nation are now looking at politics. My grandson has been giving us much grief and no doubt because of the pervasive attitudes of most of our young people and his associates. He has a talent for making the wrong people his “friends”. These same “wrong” people just may be the ones that the Obama dems are looking for, The magic word might just be “Rock Star” if Obama is to succeed. These kids are so caught up in themselves and self gratification that they see little past their favorite “tunes.” Many of these young people are beginning to feel the effects of the constant bombardment of the left that permeates our schools systems both high school and college. The socialistic movement is alive and well in the academic world. These teachers are living in a make believe world that they manufacture thinking that the social evils of capitalism must be stopped. Sure, in practice, socialism sounds good. The only problem is that, in practice it doesn’t work… My youngest daughter came out of college breathing fire as a liberal do-gooder. Today, after spending about 15 years in the real world, working to accomplish what she has, she is now a young Anne Coulter!!! God Bless her. My oldest daughter appears to continue to hold on to some of what she perceives as idealistic ideas that tend to be left leaning. I guess it’s her exposure to the medical world. She is a Registered Nurse and has not had to compete in the business world yet.

I don’t know what the answer is to salvage our young and teach some real life experiences to the young. I find the versions of history that are now being taught to be unsavory as well. It appears that everything is being changed to denigrate white America in favor of the black community. Were there injustices that occurred with the practice of slavery… you bet!!! But that doesn’t change the fact that America has been the most successful experiment in human government in the history and that our forefathers established a system that is second to none. It has evolved and changed and accommodated the injustices that came to light as we grew, but our basic principles are now under fire. This country was established on Anglo-Saxon Christian doctrine that gave a religious basis for America’s laws. We cannot change the principals that were established to make us great for the benefit of minority groups that want change for change sake. The sacrament of marriage and the sanctity of a family unit that is made up of a father and a mother (male and female) must be protected. We cannot allow the attacks on our religious freedom. Black America has every right to enjoy the basic freedoms, as do all of the other people of color and other religions; however, we cannot do it so that it is unjust to the majority of people in the country. (Although experts say that the people of color will be the majority at some future time.) Never the less, the Bill of Rights will still protect anyone who wears the Red, White and Blue with pride. We cannot tolerate those that would burn it.
