Real Change

*Written by 'Triad' Link is below* REAL CHANGE will ONLY happen if WE make it happen!! Politicians, ALL politicians will not serve the common people of this nation until they ARE common people of this nation. Politicians are RICH to begin with or else they cannot run as an "effective" candidate. They do not relate to common people and speak only in euphemistic idealism and platitudes of populist idealism. None of which they have any intentions of following through with. Bush did it. Clinton did it, Obama is definitely doing it. There will be NO CHANGE with him, or anyone under the current "system" of government we now endure! The truth is simple: REAL CHANGE will ONLY happen if WE make it happen!! Time for us to get control of the incredibly dysfunctional form our government has devolved into and hit the "reset button." This will require an effort equal to what happened in Egypt and Tunisia, and trying to happen in Libya. Until we have common people in the legislature and running the government, you are just going to change the faces but NEVER SOLVE THE PROBLEMS. You may think these are unrealizable goals, but then, how realistic was it when the Colonial Army took on the British in the war for independence? We won that one, too, in case you've forgotten.... Here's were we begin "budget reform".... Congressional Reform Act of 2012 1. Term Limits. 8 years only, one of the possible options below.. A. Two 4-year Senate terms B. 4 Two-year House terms C. One 8-year Senate term and Two 4-Year House terms D. One 8 year term for Supreme Court Justices If term limits are requisite for the President, Vice-President, and State Governors, then they most certainly are equally imperative based on the same principles for ALL of our legislators and even the judicial high seats. 2. No Tenure / No Pension. A Congressman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when they are out of office. 3. Congress (past, present & future) participates in Social Security. All funds in the Congressional retirement fund move to the Social Security system immediately. All future funds flow into the Social Security system, and Congress participates with the American people. 4. Congress can purchase their own retirement plan, just as all Americans do. 5. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise. Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%. 6. Congress loses their current health care system and participates in the same health care system as the American people. 7. Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose on the American people. 8. All contracts with past and present Congressmen are void effective 1/1/12. The American people did not make these contracts with Congressmen. Congressmen made all these contracts for themselves. 9. Make all lobbyists and special interest groups illegal. They have no basis or rights for their existence except the greed of the oligarchs they represent. This is the heart of our dysfunctional government system. This is "legal bribery" in America and the Supreme Court has sanctioned it. 10. All campaign contributions, corporate or private, cannot exceed $250 max. No candidate can use their OWN money to campaign with. This violates the constitutional principles of equal opportunities for ALL people in the nation. If candidates qualify for federal campaign monies, then that is what they can use. Otherwise, they hit the trail like everyone else for the last 200 years. Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, so ours should serve their term(s), then go home and back to work. *Written as a response to an artical {http://news.yahoo.com/s/yblog_thelookout/20110415/ts_yblog_thelookout/closer-look-lead-codices-spending-cuts-and-the-deficit-problem} by someone known as 'Triad' on Yahoo.com

THE FINAL INSPECTION The Soldier stood and faced God, Which must always come to pass. He hoped his shoes were shining, Just as brightly as his brass.. 'Step forward now, Soldier, How shall I deal with you? Have you always turned the other cheek? To My Church have you been true?' The soldier squared his shoulders and said, 'No, Lord, I guess I ain't. Because those of us who carry guns, Can't always be a saint. I've had to work most Sundays, And at times my talk was tough. And sometimes I've been violent, Because the world is awfully rough. But, I never took a penny, That wasn't mine to keep... Though I worked a lot of overtime, When the bills got just too steep. And I never passed a cry for help, Though at times I shook with fear.. And sometimes, God, forgive me, I've wept unmanly tears. I know I don't deserve a place, Among the people here. They never wanted me around, Except to calm their fears If you've a place for me here, Lord, It needn't be so grand. I never expected or had too much, But if you don't, I'll understand. There was a silence all around the throne, Where the saints had often trod. As the Soldier waited quietly, For the judgment of his God. 'Step forward now, you Soldier, You've borne your burdens well. Walk peacefully on Heaven's streets, You've done your time in Hell.' Author Unknown~

my son,.. douglas

,... today I am so blue,.. naw I mad, my youngest son,.. but My youngest and only blood son,.. got in trouble with the law. Being set up by the undercover to sell drugs to an 'undercover' to benefit a real drug dealer,.. but not him, so the story goes,.. no matter what.... breaks my heart today,... it has been forty five days of jail house visits and tears,.. but he won't be biking with me 'n my Harley nor skiing the black diamond in Nevada with Uncle Dwight any time soon.

I can't tell y'all how damaged I am by this,.... the tears flow and the nose plugs,.. but I, only I have to deal with it. I sit here and wonder how many other good family,.. dads,.. are so troubled today. I have prayed to the Lord Jesus Christ himself on many occasions to intervene,.... to no avail. Jesus did after all die on a cross,.. one he carried,.. kind of like having carry the rope to go around ones neck in a hanging... I digress. My heart is heavy.

And now,... just an hour later,.. still troubled but better,.. my brother Dan calls and expresses his love and concern for our well being... Lord, I love him and the rest and though he helped bring me to sanity,.. I still feel the pain of ones son in jail. So now my life is imprisoned for a while, but not forever. I am the son of hope and redemption, reborn with the favor of my God,.. and it does little to heal the pain,.. but give it a place it does,.. a place to reside,... while I live with the wife I've been so blessed with, and the daughter with grandchildren to love on.... another day follows this and "I will survive,.. and visit him as often as I may."

..and as was said in the seventies,... 'peace,.. out'

(this reallly is an applicaton for employment in the marketing industry,.. I have these kind of ideas all the time)

Deck of Cards

Deck of Cards


It was quiet that day, the guns and the mortars, and land mines for some reason hadn't been heard.


The young soldier knew it was Sunday, the holiest day of the week.


As he was sitting there, he got out an old deck of cards and laid them out across his bunk.


Just then an army sergeant came in and said, 'Why aren't you with the rest of the platoon?'


The soldier replied, 'I thought I would stay behind and spend some time with the Lord.'


The sergeant said, 'Looks to me like you're going to play cards.'


The soldier said, 'No, sir . You see, since we are not allowed to have Bibles or other spiritual books in this country,


I've decided to talk to the Lord by studying this deck of cards.'


The sergeant asked in disbelief, 'How will you do that?'


'You see the Ace, Sergeant? It reminds me that there is only one God.


The Two represents the two parts of the Bible, Old and New Testaments


The Three represents the Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost.


The Four stands for the Four Gospels: Matthew, Mark, Luke and John .


The Five is for the five virgins there were ten but only five of them were glorified.


The Six is for the six days it took God to create the Heavens and Earth.


The Seven is for the day God rested after making His Creation.


The Eight is for the family of Noah and his wife, their three sons and their wives -- the eight people God spared from the flood that de stroyed the Earth.


The Nine is for the lepers that Jesus cleansed of leprosy He cleansed ten, but nine never thanked Him.


The Ten represents the Ten Commandments that God handed down to Moses on tablets made of stone.


The Jack is a reminder of Satan, one of God's first angels, but he got kicked out of heaven for his sly and wicked ways and is now the joker of eternal hell.


The Queen stands for the Virgin Mary.


The King stands for Jesus, for he is the King of all kings.


When I count the dots on all the cards, I come up with 365 total, one for every day of the year.


There are a total of 52 cards in a deck; each is a week - 52 weeks in a year.


The four suits represent the four seasons: Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter.


Each suit has thirteen cards -- there are exactly thirteen weeks in a quarter.


So when I want to talk to God and thank Him, I just pull out this old deck of cards and they remind me of all that I have to be thankful for.'


The sergeant just stood there. After a minute, with tears in his eyes and pain in his heart, he said, 'Soldier, can I borrow that deck of cards?'

Heros,.. Hogans Heros

This is from the link emmbedded in the title, Wikipedia,.. got to watching this show once again and decided to check on all the stars,.. all dead other than the players named: Colonel Rodney Crittendon (Bernard Fox), Corporal Peter Newkirk (British actor Richard Dawson), Marya (Nita Talbot)(the Russian Spy Dar..ling)and Hogans real in life wife Hilda (Sigrid Valdis, 1966 to 1971).

"The theme music for Hogan's Heroes was composed by Jerry Fielding, the drums being played by Bob Crane. The title of the theme music is "March" or "Hogan's Heroes March." There are lyrics[3] to the title music. While they were never sung in the show, they were performed on an album titled "Hogan's Heroes Sing The Best of World War II". On the album, the performed lyrics are as follows:" stated by Wikipedia

Heroes, heroes, husky men of war,
Sons of all the heroes, of the war before.
We're all heroes up to our ear o's,
You ask the questions,
We make suggestions,
That's what we're heroes for.

All good heroes love a good, big fight,
Open up the bomb bays, brighten up the night.
We earn laurels solving your quarrels,
You throw the roses,
We punch the noses,
That's what we're heroes for.

What's a hero do?
We're never gonna tell ya
Cause we wish we knew.
That's why we heroes are so few.
We've got a slogan,
From Colonel Hogan,
And Colonel Hogan's a hero too.

Never flinch, boys, never be afraid,
Heroes are not born, boys, heroes all are made.
Ask not why, boys, never say die, boys,
Answer the call, remember we'll all be heroes forever more.

"I"

I was thinking about the financial crisis and the 'Bull Shit' stimulus proposal which is as Rush Limbaugh stated and named as just 'pork-u-lous'. I understand it's the realty,..er,.. reality (what a difference an 'I' makes, and isn't that how we went broke cause the 'I' was missing,.. er being held unresponsible, unaccountable and asking for a 'bailout') we are going to be burdened by the miss deads of prior generations and administrations.

But the idea that we stick our children, grandchildren and greater grand children with the bill for what we could easily do without and correct on our own is a statement of who our "New Leader" really is.

It's time I think that 'we the people' let him know he's okay taking it easy, finding his way being the new 'leader of the free world', and that nothing is free other than the air we breathe, (until he taxes it),.. oh Al Gore is already showing him how....

I understand as a union carpenter that the apprenticeship progam takes four years training and work experience prior to become adept, adapt, enept or inept,... comfortable at your trade and being capable as 'journeyman carpenter', therfore, Baby bear Barack, will be ready next time the liberals vote him in,.. 'I' hope.

Happy New Year, (or) 'How ignat 'r' ya'

Its here, and for all the blessed and cursed,.. awe shit,.. for all the good and bad in the world, somehow people think a different result will occur from the same old shit,.. called an election by media, knowledge without facts and 'newspeak'

Yeah, that is it,.. my new job is more of the same, pay rate is close though less, and yet I believe I'll achive a different result and increased enjoyment,.. have to think like that cause 'depression hurts'! To quote a co-worker, "How ignat 'r' ya?",.. kind of sums the new year up.

For all the hoopla and election freenzy, same raw deal again. Don't like the result of the election in some cold heartless state up north, heck with the vote, sue the people in the courts and contest the results untill everyone is so fed up with you they "Give you" the office, just to place you in indifference with a federal handout called a paycheck. Yep, sums up the value of the election,.. just another puppet.

I've got to say I'm okay with Obama, no more than that, I'm sure he'll do fine, the powers that picked Bush 1 & 2, Clinton and even Jimmy Carter, picked and placed this puppet and ,... I'm glad he beat my guy,.. cause just thinking of McCain and Palin there in the white house, fightin' with the puppet master like the Kennedy of old,.. gives me the heebie jeebies,.. what was I thinkin'?

I can see it now, McCain would be 'crossing the aisle' with a fully reformist cabinet, a war hero for homie-land security, Clinton for secratary of state,.. oh,.. and then Liberman for some God Fearing post like Chief of Staff,.. or just as kitchen help,.. and then he'd like to see closer ties with Vietnam or some such nonsense.

AND Palin!!! Mercy, imagine the Christmas Holiday,.. the 'New Grandchild',.. or how about that wardrobe,..

..and assisting the poor would revert to "Our Christian Charity", better known as a "Federal Tax Deduction",.. and just like our being a 'Concerned and giving' country, most lie about the size of the "Charity Ammount", just look at the receipts for donated clothing and 'used' furniture.

How much for that 'Obama 08 T shirt'?

Ahhhhhh, one more cup of joe and I think I'll relax and actually watch the television before bed,..

Red Seal, New Deal

"The tone and tendency of liberalism...is to attack the institutions of the country under the name of reform and to make war on the manners and customs (and freedom) of the people under the pretext of progress." --Disraeli, "Speech in London"


A Red New Deal with a Soviet seal
Endorsed by a Moscow hand,
The strange result of an alien cult
In a liberty loving land.


FDR supporter Merle Thorpe wrote in 1935, "We have given legislative status, either in whole or in part, to eight of the ten points of the Communist Manifesto of 1848; and, as some point out, done (sic) a better job of implementation than Russia."
Religious leader Colonel Eugene N. Sanctuary's pamphlet 'Is the New Deal Communist?' made a 35 point comparison of it to Marx's 1848 program.


I'M SO TIRED OF IT ALL
I'm so tired - Oh so tired - of the whole New Deal;
Of the juggler's smile; the barker's spiel.
Tired of taxes on my ham and eggs;
Tired of payoffs to political yeggs.
I'm tired of farmer's goose-stepping to laws;
Of millions of itching job-holder's paws;
Of Fireside Talks over commandeered mikes;
Of passing more laws to stimulate strikes.
I'm tired of the hourly-increasing debt;
I'm tired of promises still to be met;
Of eating and sleeping by Government plan;
Of calmly forgetting the Forgotten Man.
I'm tired of every new brain-trust thought;
Of the ship of state - now a pleasure yacht.
I'm tired of cheating the courts by stealth;
And terribly tired of sharing my wealth.
I'm tired and bored with the whole New Deal;
With its juggler's smile and barker's spiel.


SOME NEW DEAL FIGURES :)

U.S. Population (1935)...120,000,000
46,000,000 Eligible for Old Age Pension
30,000,000 Children prohibited from working
30,000,000 Government employees
13,999,998 Unemployed
---------------------
119,999,998


Left to produce U.S. wealth = 2
Just you and me - and I'm all worn out!

Diplomacy

Diplomacy has been in action for the past eight years as evidenced by the now familiar Condi Rice, and soon to be Hillary. The question I ask, Will it be enought to stop a nuclear hot spot like the India and Pakistan tension?

And here to the south of Texas we have an undeclared war going on with enough blame to go everywhere. Events like this are daily, terrorism or house cleaning from within, it will be just a small step to organise into an organised force.

The Cartels and drug Lords are on the verge of becoming a revolutionary army between us and Mexico. The recipe is already mixed, supply line in place, just add a little Chavez, stir in Russia support and wella!

It's the events that shape a presidency, how well the president handles it is the measure of the man. Not a position that many would volunteer for in todays world.

Hillary just accepted!!

Just a thought

2008 vs. 1984

Proles, your name inspired some research and recollection of 1980's, thank you. Though you may be of the outer party mocking us proles, it matters not. For I am a prole, the working class with a....

Ah, I can see it now, soon our "Ministry of Love" will take over a Guantanamo, the newly formed "Ministry of Peace", will begin the end of conflict, even if it requires a bigger war to attain economic balance,.. er,..peace.

What brings this up that with the ever increasing unemployment, here in the United States where real numbers suggest over ten percent currently in Texas, and in the rust belt to twelve percent and higher,.. though the 'official' number is just five to six percent, and 'slightly' higher.

How is China doing? The number of people make even low unemployment percentages devastating, how to maintain control becomes the real issue. Just as in Orwells book;...that the motivation of the Inner Party is not to achieve a future paradise but to retain power, which has become an end in itself.

And the ever shifting alliances maintained an ever existing war, not for property or control, but to maintain the economic engine while controlling the population numbers through patriotism and war.

In my short lifetime since 1954 we've (U.S.) warred with China through Vietnam and Korea, then been friends in economic boons. Been in a cold war with Russia and allied in the UN. We've sided with Iran to only now wonder about Iran, Set up Qaddafi to take him down, the same with Saddam. Noriega comes to mind as well.

The "Ministry of Peace" at work.

And soon to be passed here is the "Fairness Doctrine", where freedom of speech is taken away for 'fairness'. Any 'right wing' publication and news letter, radio show or broadcast will be "Required" to be fair,.. but who makes that decision?
Maybe the new "Ministry of Fairness"

just words.....

Ethnically ambiguous

I found this interesting that according to this BBC link embedded in my title, the world now see the United States as 'progressive' on one hand in that we elected an African American President,.. and in the other hand state how he is not actually from 'slave' stock. Matts article says way more than that and puts it very well, a perspective I had not considered. Here is a section just about Barack:

Barack Obama's election is indeed an inspiration.

But we should not not forget that America's first black president is also half white.

He was raised by a white mother and white grandparents.

He thrived in the largely white ivory towers of Harvard and Columbia.

He is not the descendant of african slaves but the son of a Kenyan economist, who was educated at American universities.

So if Barack Obama is post-racial it is also because he is ethnically ambiguous enough for most Americans to feel comfortable with him.

In that sense too he is the Tiger Woods or Lewis Hamilton of American politics: cool, concentrated and ethnically mixed.

Remember, the biggest hurdle at the beginning of his campaign was not that he was black but that he was not black enough.

By Matt Frei BBC News, Washington



I think the bottom line should be one that makes you think, I know this one surprised me from the same article above:

The Middle East is lost for words that a man called Barack "Hussein" Obama can be at the helm of the Great Satan.

Obamas Employment Plan

So what do all think of "Obamas plan to create 2.5 million jobs" fixing bridges, roads and wind energy? I can see the clerk from the local defunct clothing store Mervyns that just went belly up looking forward to digging in the dirt, hammering forms and finishing concrete. Heck, can't be nothing to building a bridge, we all have played with 'Legos' and 'Lincoln Logs'.

What a crock of re-warmed liberal stupid soup, er kool-aid,... touted by all the networks (include the BBC) as "wonderful" and an answer to the stuggle of unemployed middle managers in thier fifties everywhere. You can bet every overweight paper pusher is just dying to work in the elements and live in man camps in the wild and desolate areas of the Mid West.

All those former coffee servers from nearly defunct Starbucks will be glad to live in the desolate midwest of Wyoming or western Texas setting up wind towers, setting the base forms, tying the steel and pouring/finishing the concrete. Heck, once you do that it's easy to step into a crane and erect a wind tower without years of training and experience. Just give them 'Cake' eh Obama.

And the disenfranchised Auto worker from Detroit would love to leave his home for a mobil home in the tornato rectangle, rigging and wiring poles and setting up an electrical grid, heck, its just like installing the dashboard in a Ford Focus.

Two million four hundred thousand and swarming into unknown fields with out training or experience,.. ya'll got to be crazy not in seeing that this is nonsense.

Just words, just speeches and the masses will say 'sieg heil'.... OMG..

White Guilt is Dead

Follow the link that make the title, there you'll find a letter written by Tom Adkins. Interesting to say the least that the thought of this is alive and well. I have to wonder just how guilty a man must be to feel this way.

Comedy is Funny

Comedy is good for the soul,.. I think it is anyway. One of my brothers sent me this piece written by 'unknown', and thought it was funny enough to share.

A teacher gave her fifth grade class an assignment: Get their parents to tell them a story with a moral at the end of it.

The next day the kids came back and one by one began to tell their stories. There were all the regular type stuff, spilled milk and pennies saved. But then teacher realized, much to her dismay, that only Ernie was left. 'Ernie, do you have a story to share?' Yes ma'am. My daddy told a story about my Aunt Karen. She was a pilot in Desert Storm and her plane got hit. She had to bail out over enemy territory and all she had was a flask of whiskey, a pistol and a survival knife.

She drank the whiskey on the way down so the bottle wouldn't break and then her parachute landed right in the middle of twenty enemy troops. She shot fifteen of them with the gun until she ran out of bullets, killed four more with the knife, till the blade broke, and then she killed the last enemy with her bare hands. ''Good Heavens' said the horrified teacher. 'What kind of moral did your daddy tell you from this horrible story?

'Stay the fuck away from Aunt Karen when she's drinking!'

Where Do "We" go from Here?

Yo Brit-ish,... my friend,.. it is going no where because it can't. Obamas first news conference is no more than that,.. him saying he can't,... won't do any of what his campaign has led his followers believe.

There is no miracle of the messiah coming,.. he is Chicago Politician from the get go,.. just more polished and stage viable... better actor if you will.

Hollywood selling us movies not worth watching, a series of commercials ever so more enticing as to make not seeing the movie is unbearable,.. such intense noise and build up,... such desire,.. then there it is... Kung Foo Panda!!!!!

pooh..

Such is change for/to fools,.. and we, the republicans and democrats alike have been played for fools that we are. World wide marketing and advertising, the making us want what we don't need, and the desire to buy it at any cost.. from IPOD to Play Station, Sega, Atari and cell phone upgrade mania, when all we want is a 'diversion' and a portable 'phone',... to talk, not text.

Where is it we want to go from here is the meat of this blog, if we are to have any meat. Affordable medical that is competent and viable,... real food for thought and an education system without limits on, where of when, or what of why, the idea is to learn,... the realization that some are meant to be mechanics or carpenters.... and damn good at it... and they are no less valuable than anyone else in status or earnings.

Why should the man that builds the dream have any less profit from the same dream, when it is his life that is traded for it? Is the money the investor places in the project allow him ninety percent of the profit on an unfair means of measuring risk?

Define justice in twenty words or less... the lawyer or the court typist, the bailiff or the officer. What each of us does in this society must be equal, for to divide the rich with a [phd] or the name of doctor behind the name is a false reading,.. the farmer that put food on the plate is just as valuable as the doctor that saves the farmers daughter, to have a son, that is a policeman,..

...in hospital built by the carpenter with material from the factory or plant, served food by the immigrant with hope in his heart.. for his daughter that is yet to be born, who will be mother to the child that will end all inequality...

..that will see we are the 'body' of man.. where the ass is just as important as the heart, that is worthless with out food or blood.

It is not the politics that are wrong, it is 'us' that are being fooled into our own self destruction by our insane desire for a power that is fleeting,.. a life that is wanting, for a value placed on paper with no joy or care,.. to die alone in a place where the body of man is in denial.

Uncle Sam

The Vultures are circleing, what will we have to offer those of lesser needs if we need ourselves?

The Hunt for the Texas Fox Squirrelope

The Texas Jackalope

I am still looking to get a picture of the Fox Squirrelope seen in North Central Texas this past spring. He is said to eat whole squash, pumpkins and to wipe out whole gardens,.. and scare dogs.

Political Recipe. from the kitchen of DougTexan

The system will work once again, whether one or the other find himself in office, the limitations are found in the standard political recipe:

1. one cup of tribulation
2. two egos, slightly beaten
3. one tablespoon greed
4. a sprinkle of unknown
5. large serving of personality

In a large bowl known as an event, add in egos, personalities and greed, slowly mix in the unknown while blending tribulation to a smooth texture. Place into oven of promises for four years or until stale or given up on.

Serve with crow to the electorate with a glass of whine, desert is humble pie.
