We have the standard 6 ft. fence in the backyard, and a few months ago, I heard about burglaries increasing dramatically in the entire city. To make sure this never happened to me, I got an electric fence and ran a single wire along the top of the fence.
Actually, I got the biggest cattle charger Tractor Supply had made for 26 miles of fence. I then used an 8 ft. long ground rod, and drove it 7.5 feet into the ground. The ground rod is the key, with the more you have in the ground, the better the fence works.
One day I'm mowing the back yard with my cheapo Wal-Mart 6 hp big wheel push mower. The hot wire is broken and laying out in the yard. I knew for a fact that I unplugged the charger. I pushed the mower around the wire and reached down to grab it, to throw it out of the way.
It seems as though I hadn't remembered to unplug it after all.
Now I'm standing there, I've got the running lawnmower in my right hand and the 1.7 giga-volt fence wire in the other hand. Keep in mind the charger is about the size of a marine battery and has a picture of an upside down cow on fire on the cover.
Time stood still!
The first thing I notice is my pecker trying to climb up the front side of my body. My ears curled downwards and I could feel the lawnmower ignition firing in the backside of my brain. Every time that Briggs & Stratton rolled over, I could feel the spark in my head. I was literally at one with the engine.
It seems as though the fence charger and the piece-of-shit lawnmower were fighting over who would control my electrical impulses.
Science says you cannot crap, pee, and vomit at the same time. I beg to differ. Not only did I do all three at once, but my bowels emptied 3 different times in less than half of a second. It was a Matrix kind of bowel movement, where time is creeping along and you're all leaned back and BAM BAM BAM you just crap your pants 3 times. It seemed like there were minutes in between but in reality it was so close together it was like exhaust pulses from a big block Chevy turning 8 grand.
At this point I'm about 30 minutes (maybe 2 seconds) into holding onto the fence wire. My hand is wrapped around the wire palm down so I can't let go. I grew up on a farm so I know all about electric fences ... but Dad always had those piece of shit chargers made by International or whoever that were like 9 volts and just kinda tickled.
This one I could not let go of. The 8 foot long ground rod is now accepting signals from me through the permadamp Ark-La-Tex river bottom soil. At this point I'm thinking I'm going to have to just man up and take it, until the lawnmower runs out of gas.
'Damn!,' I think, as I remember I just filled the tank! Now the lawnmower is starting to run rough. It has settled into a loping run pattern as if it had some kind of big lawnmower race cam in it.
Covered in poop, pee, and with my vomit on my chest I think 'Oh God please let me die .... Pleeeeaze . But nooooo, it settles into the rough lumpy cam idle nicely and remains there, like a big bore roller cam EFI motor waiting for the go command from its owner's right foot.
So here I am in the middle of July, 104 degrees, 80% humidity, standing in my own backyard, begging God to kill me.
God did not take me that day .... he left me there covered in my own fluids to writhe in the misery my own stupidity had created.
I honestly don't know how I got loose from the wire ....
I woke up laying on the ground hours later. The lawnmower was beside me, out of gas. It was later on in the day and I was sunburned.
There were two large dead grass spots where I had been standing, and then another long skinny dead spot where the wire had laid while I was on the ground still holding on to it. I assume I finally had a seizure and in the resulting thrashing had somehow let go of the wire.
Upon waking from my electrically induced sleep I realized a few things:
1 - Three of my teeth seem to have melted.
2 - I now have cramps in the bottoms of my feet and my right butt cheek
(not the left, just the right).
3 - Poop, pee, and vomit when all mixed together, do not smell as bad as you might think.
4 - My left eye will not open.
5 - My right eye will not close.
6 - The lawnmower runs like a sumbitch now. Seriously! I think our little session cleared out some carbon fouling or something, because it was better than new after that.
7 - My nuts are still smaller than average.
8 - I can turn on the TV in the game room by farting, while thinking of the number 4 (I still don't understand this!).
That day changed my life. I now have a new found respect for things. I appreciate the little things more, and now I always triple check to make sure the fence is unplugged before I mow.
The good news, is that if a burglar does try to come over the fence, I can clearly visualize what my security system will do to him, and THAT gives me a warm and fuzzy feeling all over, which also reminds me to triple check before I mow!

Build the fence as quick as possible
We owe them nothing!!! They have committed a crime by coming here illegally. The new law in Arizona is more than appropriate and necessary. What is Obama thinking? Is he really only all about votes and not for the good of the country? We have to put a stop to this swarm of illegals entering this country! We simply cannot afford them!

Food police
What the heck-now the government is telling us what we can and cannot eat again! Now they want to limit the salt we eat. What about focusing on the real problems that we have right now like jobs, Iran, Afghanistan, financial meltdown for many American families! President Obama should come to Oakhurst ,Ca. to see the results of his actions! We're becoming a business ghost town. I'm sure we are not the only small town that is suffering this fate because of his administration's policies!

Mad as Hell
Sherry Hackett, wife of the
late Buddy Hackett, is a dyed-in-the-wool
Democrat. I would think that many other Democrats share her
position...
This was written
by Sherry Hackett, Buddy Hackett's widow.
"WE NOTICED"
President Obama:
Today I read of your administrations' plan to
re-define September 11 as
a National Service Day. Sir, it's time we had
a talk.
During your campaign, Americans watched as
you made mockery of our
tradition of standing and crossing your heart
when the Pledge of Allegiance
was spoken. You, out of four people on the
stage, were the only one not
honoring our tradition.
YES, "We noticed."
During one of your many speeches, Americans
heard you say that you
intended to visit all 57 states.
We all know that Islam, not America has 57
states.
YES, "We noticed."
When President Bush leaned over at Ground
Zero and gently placed a
flower on the memorial, while you
nonchalantly tossed your flower onto
the pile without leaning over.
YES, "We noticed."
Every time you apologized to other countries
for America 's position on
an issue we have wondered why you don't share
our pride in this great
country.. When you have heard foreign leaders
berate our country and
our beliefs, you have not defended us. In
fact, you insulted the
British Crown beyond belief.
YES, "We noticed."
When your pastor of 20 years, "God-damned
America " and said that
9/11 was " America 's chickens coming home to
roost" and you denied
having heard recriminations of that nature,
we wondered how that could
be. You later disassociated yourself from
that church and Pastor
Wright because it was politically expedient
to do so.
YES, "We noticed."
When you announced that you would transform
America , we wondered
why. With all her faults, America is the
greatest country on earth.
Sir, KEEP THIS IN MIND, "if not for America
and the people who built
her, you wouldn't be sitting in the White
House now." Prior to your
election to the highest office in this
Country, you were a senator from
Illinois and from what we can glean from the
records available, not a
very remarkable one.
YES, "We noticed."
All through your campaign and even now, you
have surrounded
yourself with individuals who are basically
unqualified for the
positions for which you appointed them. Worse
than that, the majority
of them are people who, like you, bear no
special allegiance, respect, or
affection for this country and her traditions.
YES, "We noticed."
You are 14 months into your term and every
morning millions of
Americans wake up to a new horror heaped on
us by you. You seek to
saddle working Americans with a health
care/insurance reform package
that, along with cap and trade, will bankrupt
this nation.
YES, "We noticed."
We seek, by protesting, to let our
representatives know that we are not
in favor of these crippling expenditures and
we are labeled
"un-American","racist", "mob". We wonder how
we are supposed to let
you know how frustrated we are. You have
attempted to make our protests seem
isolated and insignificant. Until your
appointment, Americans had the right
to speak out.
YES, "We noticed."
On September 11, 2001 there were no
Republicans or Democrats, only
Americans. And we all grieved together and
helped each other in
whatever way we could. The attack on 9/11 was
carried out because we are
Americans.
And YES, "We noticed."
There were many of us who prayed that as a
black president you could
help unite this nation. In six months you
have done more to destroy
this nation than the attack on 9/11. You have
failed us.
YES, "We noticed."
September 11 is a day of remembrance for all
Americans. You
propose to make 9/11 a "National Service
Day". While we know that you
don't share our reverence for 9/11, we pray
that history will report
your proposal as what it is, a disgrace.
YES, "We noticed."
You have made a mockery of our Constitution
and the office that
you hold. You have embarrassed and slighted
us in foreign visits
and policy.
YES, "We noticed."
We have noticed all these things. We will
deal with you. When Americans
come together again, it will be to remove you
from office.
This was sent to me by a friend here in Coarsegold. Americans are mad as hell and we're not going to take this anymore!!!
Take notice. If you agree with this, please
pass it on. If not, I'm sorry.

ACLU
(The ACLU is the largest and most dangerous subversive organization in the USA. I agree with what is said below-we have to take back our country and our way of life. It is amazing the amount of damage one man and his cohorts can do in one 4 year term in office!! It will take the next administration the first 4 years just to undo the mess.)

Subject: AMEN! Andy Rooney
Folks, this is the Month that we
RE-TAKE AMERICA
********* Get Ready *********
Keep this going around the globe .
Read it and forward every time you receive it. We can't give up on
this issue.
Andy Rooney and Prayer
Andy Rooney says:
I don't believe in Santa Claus, but
I'm not going to sue somebody for singing a Ho-Ho-Ho song in
December. I don't agree with Darwin , but I didn't go out and hire
a lawyer when my high school teacher taught his Theory of Evolution.
Life, liberty or your pursuit of
happiness will not be endangered because someone says a 30-second
prayer before a football game. So what's the big deal? It's not
like somebody is up there reading the entire Book of Acts. They're
just talking to a God they believe in and asking him to grant safety
to the players on the field and the fans going home from the game.
But it's a Christian prayer, some
will argue..
Yes, and this is the United States
of America , a country founded on Christian principles.. According
to our very own phone book, Christian churches outnumber all others
better than 200-to-1. So what would you expect -- somebody chanting
Hare Krishna?
If I went to a football game in
Jerusalem , I would expect to hear a Jewish prayer...
If I went to a soccer game in
Baghdad , I would expect to hear a Muslim prayer.
If I went to a ping pong match in
China , I would expect to hear someone pray to Buddha.
And I wouldn't be offended. It
wouldn't bother me one bit.
But what about the atheists? Is
another argument.
What about them? Nobody is asking
them to be baptized. We're not going to pass the collection plate.
Just humor us for 30 seconds.. If that's asking too much, bring a
Walkman or a pair of ear plugs. Go to the bathroom. Visit the
concession stand. Call your lawyer!
Unfortunately, one or two will make
that call. One or two will tell thousands what they can and cannot
do. I don't think a short prayer at a football game is going to
shake the world's foundations.
Christians are just sick and tired
of turning the other cheek while our courts strip us of all our
rights. Our parents and grandparents taught us to pray before
eating, to pray before we go to sleep. Our Bible tells us to pray
without ceasing. Now a handful of people and their lawyers are
telling us to cease praying.
God, help us. And if that last
sentence offends you, well, just sue me.
The silent majority has been silent
too long. It's time we tell that one or two who scream loud enough
to be heard that the vast majority doesn't care what they want. It
is time that the majority
Rules! It's time we tell them, You
don't have to pray; you don't have to say the Pledge of Allegiance;
you don't have to believe in God or attend services that honor Him.
That is your right, and we will honor your right; but by golly, you
are no longer going to take our rights away. We are fighting back,
and we WILL WIN!
God bless us one and all ....
Especially those who denounce Him , God bless America, despite all
her faults. She is still the greatest nation of all. God bless our
service men who are fighting to protect our right to pray and
worship God.
Let's make 2010 the year the silent
majority is heard and we put God back as the foundation of our
families and institutions . And our military forces come home from
all the wars.
Keep looking up.

WOW, what next?
President Obama, fresh off the announcement of agreement with Russia to reduce nuclear arms stockpiles, plans to unveil a nuclear weapons strategy Tuesday that will limit the United States' potential uses of such weapons -- even in self defense.
Obama, in an interview Monday with the New York Times, said he would make an exception for "outliers like Iran and North Korea" in revamping the United States' nuclear strategy.
With the new approach, Obama sees the United States leading by example in efforts to reduce the proliferation of nuclear weapons and eventually make them obsolete, the president told the Times, signaling a clear break with his predecessors on the issue.
Instead, threats could be dealt with by "a series of graded options," he said, combining old and new conventional weapons.
"I'm going to preserve all the tools that are necessary in order to make sure that the people are safe and secure," Obama told the Times.
The Obama administration plans to urge Russia to return to the bargaining table following Senate ratification of the new START arms reduction treaty, to be signed by Obama and Russian President Dmitry Medvedev in Prague on Thursday.
The White House hopes to overcome Russia's expressed reluctance to move beyond START, especially if it means cutting Moscow's arsenal of tactical, or short-range nuclear arms.
These so-called theater nuclear weapons play a key role in Russia's overall defense strategy and are regarded in Moscow as an important bargaining chip on security issues.
The timing of a planned U.S. push for new, broader arms talks with Russia is uncertain. But officials said the proposal would only come after U.S. and Russian legislative approval of the new START pact, which isn't expected until the end of this year.
The Russian parliament is almost certain to sign off on any deal negotiated by the Kremlin, but the U.S. Senate's ratification of the new START treaty is far from a sure thing.
Obama is hosting dozens of world leaders in a nuclear security summit in Washington next week.
One senior administration official told the Associated Press that the U.S. wants another round of talks between the White House and the Kremlin that would include so-called "non-deployed" nuclear weapons -- the thousands of warheads on both sides that are held in reserve and not ready for immediate use.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.
I'm sorry to have to say this but our President is a moron!!!!

Jefferson
This was sent to me today via email, it is so true!
How did Jefferson know?
. Wonder what party he would be aligned with today ?
Subj: How did Jefferson know?
This is some of the wisdom of the past that helped create this country, and which is now being ignored by our current politicians who seem hell bent on destroying it.
HOW DID JEFFERSON KNOW?
Especially read the last quote from 1802.
When we get piled
upon one another in large cities, as in Europe,
we shall become as corrupt as Europe .
Thomas Jefferson
The democracy will cease to exist
when you take away from those
who are willing to work and give to those who would not.
Thomas Jefferson
It is incumbent on every
generation to pay its own debts as it goes.
A principle which if acted on would save
one-half the wars of the world.
Thomas Jefferson
I predict future happiness for
Americans if they can prevent the government
from wasting the labors of the people under the
pretense of taking care of them.
Thomas Jefferson
My reading of history convinces me
that most bad government results from too much
government.
Thomas Jefferson
No free man shall ever be debarred
the use of arms.
Thomas Jefferson
The strongest reason for the
people to retain the right to keep and bear arms
is, as a last resort, to protect themselves
against tyranny in government.
Thomas Jefferson
The tree of liberty must be
refreshed from time to time with the blood of
patriots and tyrants.
Thomas Jefferson
To compel a man to subsidize with
his taxes the propagation of ideas which he
disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical.
Thomas Jefferson
Thomas Jefferson said in 1802:
'I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies.
If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their
currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will
grow up around the banks will deprive the people of all property - until their children
wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.'

generation to pay its own debts as it goes.
A principle which if acted on would save
one-half the wars of the world.
Thomas Jefferson
I predict future happiness for
Americans if they can prevent the government
from wasting the labors of the people under the
pretense of taking care of them.
Thomas Jefferson
My reading of history convinces me
that most bad government results from too much
government.
Thomas Jefferson
No free man shall ever be debarred
the use of arms.
Thomas Jefferson
The strongest reason for the
people to retain the right to keep and bear arms
is, as a last resort, to protect themselves
against tyranny in government.
Thomas Jefferson
The tree of liberty must be
refreshed from time to time with the blood of
patriots and tyrants.
Thomas Jefferson
To compel a man to subsidize with
his taxes the propagation of ideas which he
disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical.
Thomas Jefferson
Thomas Jefferson said in 1802:
'I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies.
If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their
currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will
grow up around the banks will deprive the people of all property - until their children
wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.'

Obamacare conference
It seems that the President's whole purpose here was to talk down to and demean the Republicans. He was very rude and disrespectful to them. He had this televised to make his point, that he is the President and he will do as he pleases regardless of the opposition he gets from the folks or the Republicans in Congress. His true motive was on display in this meeting and I was not surprised at all.

Another "What are they thinking"
The state of California is trying to sell billions in bonds to pay for the high speed rail through the central valley. If you or I tried to sell bonds to finance another debt for a project that is not needed or wanted do you think anyone would buy them? These bonds will have to be paid back. Where is the state going to get the money in this time of financial crisis? When you're bankrupt you don't just keep incuring debt. You pull in your spending and only do what's essential. What are they thinking???
President Obama is going to try to ramrod the Healthcare bill through despite all of the opposition. The people don't want it, the Republicans don't want it but he continues on. Today he is going to try and say that the conservatives in Congress are being obstructionist but they are only standing up for the will of the people. He is having this conference for show only. He does not want to listen to anything they say. It is so simple,as I've said before. Tort reform and cross state border competition for the insurance companies. But of course, that's not socialized medicine!

Big business-evil?
I'm so sick of hearing liberals decrying big business and big corporations. Think about it,for God's sake. If it were not for them there would be no jobs. If government continues down this path they will force all business out of this country,there will be no jobs and everyone will be dependent on them. Just look at Haiti-is this what you want for our country? We have always been a nation of doers, now we're turning into a nation of takers. We need big business for jobs, research and development of new products and ,yes,wealth! By the way, r&d is a huge part of the space program that Obama is putting the squeeze on right now. By stopping the program he has single handedly done away with large numbers of jobs in one fell swoop! The government cannot produce any growth in jobs. Someone has to earn money and pay taxes. The government can print money to pay their employees with but the more it prints the less value the money has. If our currency collapses it's over for us.
If this trend continues we will be a third world country before the end of Obama's one term in office. I hope you all remember that we are the greatest nation on earth and we should continue to see us in that light. Look at what is happening to Europe. Is this what you want for us. The European type of socialism will ruin us and then the Islamic radicals will move in to take over without firing another shot. Obama is trying to take us down that road. We have to put a stop to this!

We're drowning
Please don't let your personal political views get in the way of doing what is right for our country. Give up on the far left, socialist ideas and get down to what is best for the rest of us. Give tax cuts to those who will make use of them by creating jobs. Don't allow the Congress to legislate us into third world status with all of their left wing bills. Protect us from harm(Iran is saber rattling this am). A huge percentage of us don't want any of the bills passed that are now in Congress. If you don't let the business community do what it does best,provide jobs, this recession will surely turn into a depression.

Michelle Obama
No, Michele Obama does not get paid to serve as the First Lady and she doesn't perform any official duties. But this hasn't deterred her from hiring an unprecedented number of staffers to cater to her every whim and to satisfy her every request in the midst of the Great Recession.
Just think, Mary Lincoln was taken to task for purchasing china for the White House during the Civil War. And Mamie Eisenhower had to shell out the salary for her personal secretary from her husband's salary.
Total Personal Staff members for other first ladies paid by taxpayers:
Mamie Eisenhower: One-- paid for personally out of President's salary..
Jackie Kennedy: One
Roseline Carter: One
Barbara Bush: One
Hilary Clinton: Three
Laura Bush: One
Michele Obama: Twenty-two
How things have changed! If you're one of the tens of millions of Americans facing certain destitution, earning less than subsistence wages stocking the shelves at Wal-Mart or serving up McDonald cheeseburgers,prepare to scream and then come to realize that the benefit package for these servants of Ms Michelle are the same as members of the national security and defense departments and the bill for these assorted lackeys is paid by YOU, John Q. Public:
Michele Obama's personal staff:
One.. $172,200 - Sher, Susan (Chief Of Staff)
Two.. $140,000 - Frye, Jocelyn C. (Deputy Assistant to the President and Director of Policy And Projects For The First Lady)
Three.. $113,000 - Rogers, Desiree G. (Special Assistant to the President and White House Social Secretary for Mrs. Obama)
Four.. $102,000 - Johnston, Camille Y. (Special Assistant to the President
and Director of Communications for the First Lady)
Five.. $100,000 - Winter, Melissa (Special Assistant to the President and Deputy Chief Of Staff to the First Lady)
Six.. $90,000 Medina , David S. (Deputy Chief Of Staff to the First Lady)
Seven.. $84,000 - Lilyveld, Catherine M. (Director and Press Secretary to the First Lady)
Eight.. $75,000 - Starkey, Frances M. (Director of Scheduling and Advance for the First Lady)
Nine.. $70,000 - Sanders, Trooper (Deputy Director of Policy and Project for the First Lady)
Ten.. $65,000 - Burnough, Erinn (Deputy Director and Deputy Social Secretary)
Eleven.. $64,000 - Reinstein, Joseph B.(Deputy Director and Deputy Social Secretary)
Twelve.. $62,000 - Goodman, Jennifer R. (Deputy Director of Scheduling and Events Coordinator For The First Lady)
Thirteen.. $60,000 Fitz, Alan O.(Deputy Director of Advance and Trip Director
for the First Lady)
Fourteen... $57,500 - Lewis, Dana M. (Special Assistant and Personal Aide to the First Lady)
Fifteen... $52,500 - Mustaphi, Semonti M. (Associate Director and Deputy Press Secretary To The First Lady)
Sixteen... $50,000 - Jarvis, Kristen E. (Special Assistant for Scheduling and Traveling Aide To The First Lady)
Seventeen.. $45,000 - Lechtenberg, Tyler A. (Associate Director of Correspondence For The First Lady)
Eighteen.. $43,000 - Tubman, Samanth a (Deputy Associate Director, Social Office)
Nineteen.. $40,000 - Boswell, Joseph J. (Executive Assistant to the Chief Of Staff to the First Lady)
Twenty.. $36,000 - Armbruster, Sally M. (Staff Assistant to the Social Secretary)
Twenty-One.. $35,000 - Bookey, Natalie (Staff Assistant)
Twenty-Two.. $35,000 - Jackson, Deilia A. (Deputy Associate Director of Correspondence for the First Lady)
(total $1,591,200 in annual salaries)
There has NEVER been anyone in the White House at any time who has created such an army of staffers whose sole duties are the facilitation of the First Lady's social life.
One wonders why she needs so much help, at taxpayer expense.
Note: This does not include makeup artist Ingrid Grimes-Miles, 49, and "First Hairstylist" Johnny Wright, 31, both of whom traveled aboard Air Force One to Europe ..

Yes, I know, The Canadian Free Press had to publish this, perhaps because America no longer has a free press and the USA media is too scared that they might be considered racist or suffer at the hands of Obama.
Sorry America !

What the heck is going on!!
We live in a very small (7000+) town! This town and it's nearest neighbor are becoming ghost towns. Obama continues to spend taxpayer money on crap while small businesses go under at an alarming rate. I personally know of two young families, one with 5 kids and one with 3 kids that will owe large amount of income tax to the IRS this year. Both families are single wage earner families. The new tax policies of the Obama administraion are killing young families!! The government has simply got to stop this BS. We will exceed the new debt ceiling at the end of February-then what -Congress will have to raise it again. China is getting sick of loaning us money that it doesn't look like we can repay anytime soon but Obama,Pelosi and Reid just keep spending more than we have.
This administration considers anyone making over $100,000 a year rich. Wow, that's a crock-it takes that much for a young family just to survive. These young families should not be forced to give up any more of their earnings in this so-called "wealth redistribution" scheme of the Obama administration. People who get an education and a good job through their own efforts have no obligation to share their income with anyone but their family unless they choose to voluntarily. People who choose to live off welfare or work in low paying jobs don't deserve to share in the benefits earned by these folks. Education is free to all who want it and standing on a street corner dealing drugs or belonging to a gang will not get you there. Hard work and ethics get you there.
Just remember what happened in New Orleans after Katrina. People there did nothing to help themselves but waited for the government ot come and do everything for them. The people of Mississippi, on the other hand, jumped in and got to work. You never heard them complain. It is a welfare mentality versus self sufficiency. It makes me so angry that so many have been made dependent by the policies of previous Democrat administrations,ie. The Johnson administration and his great society. The welfare state he created has taken the life out of an entire segment of our population.
Now all they can do is depend on the government to take care of them and complain that those that earn a decent wage are treating them unfairly and should give them some of it. Go out and earn it for yourselves.Make your kids stay in school and learn how to earn a living.Take some responsibility for yourselves and get back your self-respect.

Americans do great things!
Here is cointinued proof that Americans are capable of great things! This will be the longest concrete arch span bridge in the USA when it is completed. It is over and in front of another great accomplishment-Hoover Dam. Despite all of the negative things said by Mr. Obama and the first lady about this nation it remains the greatest country on earth . We should not apologize for anything! We have come to the rescue of many nations and helped the less fortunate in all areas of the world. We are a rich country and we are the most generous country on earth.
Never let anyone say otherwise. When our own President refuses to salute our flag something is very wrong. Many thousands of our finest young men and women have given their lives to protect our heritage and we should never be ashamed to celebrate our country's greatness!!!

Obama and the Dems
Obama and the Dems are running scared-GOOD! It's about time that they listen to the will of the people. Let's see if they can do anything constructive about jobs now.
Apparently another scientist has admitted to lying about climate change just to influence world politics. This whole thing is unravelling! His claim that the Himalayian glaicers will be gone by 2035 was made up and their is no evidence to support the claim. Wow ,what a suprise,as I sit here freezing my behind off.
Lets stop all of this policital correctness and global warming stuff and get to the job at hand. Let's speed up this recovery and job creation and forget all of the rest of this nonsense. Stop nationalizing private industry and get back to the business of the government-protect and serve the people!

Brown win
The people have spoken! Obama loses again after his Sunday trip to MA! The revolution has started in earnest now. The ultra Liberals in the Congress better start rethinking their position and start listening to the will of the people if they want to keep their cushy jobs in Washington! We don't want any of this Socialist policy that they have trying to foist off on us. No cap&trade, no Obamacare, no global warming policies that will hurt this country and no card check. All of these bills and policies will only serve to further weaken our country and send jobs overseas.
What we need and want is an administration that listens to us,after all, we hired them and they are supposed to work for us!
Congratulation to Senator elect Brown!

Double standard
If a conservative had made the comments that were made by Harry Reid the main stream media would have been on it like white on rice. Where is the indignation at those very racist remarks! I must remind everyone that ABC,CBS and NBC are entertainment networks. They throw in some evening news and some local news but for the most part they're there to entertain. Not that there is anything wrong with that but to hear them talk they are the utmost in news and information. I beg to differ-they offer a large amount of opinion and bias with their news! Where are they on this story?
I have another question- Why do Geitner and Holder still have their jobs in the administration? Their behavior is bordering on criminal. Does Obama not have any power in the White House? Is he only a figure head, an empty suit? I also want to know what decisions are being made by all of these Czars that Obama has working for him. Where is the transparency of office we were promised. Where is the by partisan approach that he promised. The Republicans are not allowed into conference to debate these bills and rules. All of the so-called negotiations are held behind closed doors, Dems only , and out of sight of the public. What happened to C-Span being allowed to broadcast the debate on the Obamacare bill?
I want all Liberals that voted for Obama to realize that these proposed laws withh affect your pocketbook as well as mine. Taxes are non-descriminatory! Where will displaced liberals get jobs after this Congress is through messing things up? If you think these laws will bring jobs,think again. Full time (with benefits) jobs are going up in the smoke created by this administration! Currently 26% of the workforce are temps-no benefits, no retirement, no employer loyalty. That is what you all have to look forward to if Cap & Trade, Obamacare,Card check and others pass. That is heading us down the road to becoming a third world country. God help us!

Jobs??
Jobs?? I read in yesterdays WSJ that the economy is bleeding jobs. What does everyone expect? The policies of the Obama administration will only continue to effect jobs in a negative way. Small business (the main job generator) is fearful of the tax and spend policies. The healthcare bill is going to do away with a large number of permanent,full time jobs in favor of temps. The business owners will use these contractors in place of permanent workers to avoid having to pay the taxes and fines involved with this bill. As it stands right now 26% of the workforce is temporary workers. This number will only increase. Jobs will continue to flee overseas in droves. Obama says that we are in a recovery period but jobs are not being created. The government cannot provide enough jobs to fill the growing gap. The only way to encourage job creation is to cut taxes and vote down this massive healthcare entitlement program. There is not a state that can afford to increase it's Medicaid budget, as demanded (except Nebraska).
California is loosing jobs and skilled workers at an alarming rate. Silicon Valley is now full of empty office buildings. A lot of those jobs have gone overseas. Many of our most talented workers have migrated overseas as well.
The Obama administrations total disregard for the will of the people will come back to haunt them in November. As we can see by recent events some of the Dems are running scared, as they should be.

Jar-Jar
No political commentary today-I'm sick of it all! As you can see I've included a photo of two of my goats and my horse. The reason for this is that this afternoon when I was going out to feed them I was greeted by a bleating from outside the front gate. Jar-Jar, the one with the long ears, was standing there pleading to be let in! The horse/goat area is well fenced and we thought goat proof. I had forgotten that a few years ago a large branch fell off of one of our oak trees and landed on the fence,thus weakening it.
Apparently, Jar-Jar found that spot and climed up on that section of fence to get at another one of the oaks. The fence came apart at that point and he was outside-in a place he'd never been before. I am thankful that he had the common sense to come to the gate rather than wander away!
One more bit of news-One of our very good friends is planning to run a half marathon this year. We wish him the very best of luck with that. I will post pictures as soon as I can get them!
I'll be back to politics with my next post.

California woes
What is the Govenor to do?? He tried to lay off some state workers because we just don't have the money to pay them but the SEIU went to court and got a sympathetic judge to rule against him. I think it is time to bring the SEIU down a few pegs! They have far to much power when they can tell a state how to handle it's financial affairs. I know they are huge supporters of the Democrat party but enough is enough! There is a limit to the amount of taxation can be put on the population of this state before it stops paying off. If the taxes amount to 50% or more of the peoples income the revenue the state receives diminishes. There is no incentive for people to work after that. The state simply has to cut spending!!Learn to live within it's means.
Why do the judges in this state think that they can govern from the bench. That is not their job. The 9th circuit court being the worst. Give the state a chance to get out of this mess before the impact of Obamacare hits! The state has to cut it's spending and cutting it's workforce is the place to start. I'm sure the office staffs of the Legislature could be cut and we would never miss them. We've got to start somewhere. Bankruptcy will be next if we don't!
