Consequences...

   No jobs, mental illness, bullying, the economy, no one liked him/her, abused as a child and the list goes on and on...

These are all just useless excuses by the media, their doctors, families, friends and the bleeding heart liberals who to try to convince us, to explain away, someones murderously violent behavior, by blaming everything and everyone BUT the murderer.   

You want to stop all this violence?  Here are a few of my ideas to change things.  We have raised several generations who have been spoiled beyond belief and are a little bit worthless and convinced their parents, teachers, friends, bosses and the world, owe them everything they have not worked for.  

Stop the mollycoddling of our children!  Bring back corporal punishment in schools. Bring back true competition, where there are winners and losers.  Stop telling them there are no losers.  And please, please just STOP rewarding them for participating. Participation doesn't deserve a reward.  It should be demanded of them.  We are raising generation after generation of whining kids who are incapable of accepting they are NOT all winners.  Some, like these recent creeps who murdered children, are out and out losers.

Hey, I know, here's a radical idea...why don't we teach our children about personal responsibility. Let's teach them to accept responsibility for their own behavior.  And teach them that ALL actions have a reaction and consequences.  

Oh, oh I know what we could do!  We could spank (talking about spankings folks, not beatings) them when they break the rules on a continuous basis.  Let's not just ground them for a week.  Let us start to take away their X-Box, WII's, other electronic games, cell phones, Ipads, laptops, computers and cars. Why not punish them for as long as it takes to get them to start behaving like human beings and not the spoiled little jerks they are.

 If we teach our kids what is right, what is wrong, what is acceptable, what is not acceptable they will grow to be better citizens and neighbors.  And maybe if we did, these violent acts would stop.  Or at the very least, not occur so damn frequently. 

And I don't for one moment believe that banning this gun or that ammunition will make a damn bit of difference to these freaks.  They will continue to steal the weapons from law abiding citizens to do their violence against the most helpless among us. 

Every teacher in this nation should be trained, licensed and have access to a loaded handgun with armor piercing rounds at all times.  

No one should be allowed to enter a school who is not attending, teaching, cleaning, or working the office before, during or after school hours.  Not even a parent who is picking up a child who has become ill at school should be allowed inside the premises.  The child should be escorted to a gate, ID should be requested, the child should go home with mom or dad.  

When we all accept that our behavior influences our children, if we were to actually accept responsibility for the asinine behavior of our children, and the sometimes dreadful parenting choices we have made, then maybe these kids will grow up, learn and accept the world does NOT revolve around them.  

Parents need to start acting as parents first. Parents should be the disciplinarians.  Not their childs friend.

And perhaps, when these kids do not get their way, they will be able to cope with their disappointment and anger. If they were to learn these hard lessons young, maybe when they are older, they won't steal guns from their neighbors, family and friends, then go out to murder someones child.

Even free speech has limits...

This was MSN's question of the day today..

"Should the US prosecute for obscene or menacing Facebook posts & tweets?"

Some 60% said no. (at the time I was on MSN)  I think that response is appalling. Apparently these people don't get it.

Being threatened on the web, which I have not been, has to be frightening.  Probably more so when you don't know who it is that is trying to ruin your day...or your life.  I can only imagine, it is worse if it is someone you know and used to care for.  So for what it's worth, here are my thoughts on the subject...

I think even free speech has some limits.  Whether anonymously on the web, face to face or anonymously in a crowd or a mob, you CANNOT threaten, harass, photo shop a disgusting picture, or stalk another person.  Period.  Pretty simple.  And a very basic rule.

I believe if we can prosecute someone for stalking and making terrorist threats in the "real world,"  then we can certainly prosecute the same type of behavior on the web.  After all, the idiot is doing it in a public forum, where privacy doesn't truly exist.  So honestly, what is the difference if it is done on the street outside your door, or on the web,  inside your computer?

The right to freedom of speech is so precious to most Americans.  And it is guaranteed by the United States Constitution.  But true freedom of speech, is so much different from harassing some one to the point they want to run away and hide from the world, just to feel safe from your asinine, cruel and frightening behavior.

Stalking is stalking.  Bullying is bullying.  Photo shopping someones face into a pornographic photo is just wrong. Threatening someone is threatening them.  Even if it is on Facebook, My Space, or any other social networking site,  anywhere on the Internet.  And by the way, just because you are a teenager, does not make it acceptable behavior.

When one person makes the other person feel as if they are in danger, fearful for their life, or no longer safe to live their life fully and openly, it is no longer "free speech." It is harassment.  It is threatening.  And it is illegal.  Even, dare I say it,  on the web.

Bullying, harassing, photo shopping a nasty picture of someone, or threatening someone on the web, all  while claiming it is your "right to free speech," is morally and ethically wrong.  It is just another excuse for you to get away with trying to make some other person else as miserable as you are.  It is another way for you to excuse your vile, foul, disgusting behavior.  When there is no excuse for it at all.

It is a lie.  It is wrong.  If this is what you think it means to exercise your "right to freedom of speech,"  you are not only "misguided" (I am being nice here,) you are intensely stupid.  And particularly if you believe it is "okay" or even an acceptable behavior on your part.


If you harass someone to a point where they contemplate suicide to get away from you, or, God forbid, actually do commit suicide.  This is murder by suicide.  You should go to prison for the rest of your life for this crime.  I don't care how old, or young, you are.  Murder is murder.  The fact that you "didn't think this would happen," makes no difference to me at all.

So, if you can't control your bullying, harassing, harrying or threatening behavior, we on the receiving end, may have to do it for you.  By whatever means at our disposal...And because you are such a jack ass with your completely immature view of life and the world around you, I want to help you understand.  For us, "any means at our disposal," means legally.  Yes. Really.  You see, the rest of us aren't even close to being as stupid and vicious as you are.

America has not spoken...

(I posted this Wednesday after the election, on Facebook in response to a liberal friends misunderstanding of the facts...)  

"A friend said to me last night, election night, "America has spoken." She's only partially right. 1/3 of America spoke. 1/3 of America voted for Romney.  The other third who were eligible to vote, did not bother to do so.

The third of us Americans who work tirelessly to support the other 2/3's were overwhelmed by the blind "gimme all the free stuff" adoration of an un-informed public and a biased media who has been lying to them for years.
 

So she is wrong.  No, America has not spoken...A small segment of the population spoke. Too bad the others couldn't be bothered to find the truth for themselves and or register to vote...

Our jobs will continue to leave by the thousands to countries that suppress their citizens by whatever means necessary. Our people will continue to be murdered in the name of Allah. This Presidebt will continue to fund "green" businesses that are known to be complete failures and incapable of delivering the goods.  Kind of like the man himself.

The workers of this nation will continue to hemorrhage money to pay more and more taxes which will go to pay for this administrations socialist agenda.

The health care system will now be run by ignorant, moronic federal bureaucrats who are inept and incapable of making an informed decision on their own health care, let alone yours or mine.

The Unions will maintain the most incompetent teachers.  And will continue to make excuses as to why they cannot teach our children to read or write or do basic math.  And their unearned wages will steadily climb, as will our taxes as we struggle to pay for their ignorance and all this is done while they dumb down our children into little herds of brainwashed ignorant liberal lazy good for nothing sheep.

And all the while, this administration will be tooting their horn, bragging about how "good" we have it because the rich are now the poor. And the poor are even worse off than they were last year and the year before that...But they will keep demanding more and more "free" stuff.  Without even recognizing or accepting that he who "giveth you free stuff," can also "taketh away your free stuff."   Not just "the rich" will suffer.  Anyone who has been given something for nothing will suffer right along with the rest of America.

And of course, Obama will continue to dodge his responsibility by blaming everyone but the liberals. Which is pretty much everyone else in the country, for all the problems he cannot fix by throwing money we do not have at them.  

So, of course it will be the Independents, Conservatives, Tea Party Patriots, Libertarians, Constitutionalists and Republicans fault."  After all, they are not falling into line with his "noble" policy of thieving from everyone who works for a living to pay for the people who cannot be bothered to even try to take care of themselves...

One thing that just pisses me off...

Big mouth actors need to shut up and act.  Please do us all a favor and don't speak out until you understand what it is you are complaining about.  Do your due diligence.  Research what the candidates actually said and what they really stand for. 

Soooo, Connie Britton, another obscure middle aged actress (New series Nashville) wrote an op ed in some irrelevant magazine,  (I think she is looking to keep herself relevant in the Hollywood that mostly dismisses older women,) is ripping Mitt Romney because of his liking for a saying.  Who is she?  Who is listening to her?  Sorry to all these actors out there who think many of their fans may want to hear their mouths flapping about politics, we really don't.

I don't care about your political affiliations.  I pay to see you act.  That's it.  And one by one, your political activism, snide remarks, and demeaning of others, (mostly us conservatives,) without a real knowledge of the situation most underpaid women really live in, pisses me off to no end.  

So once again, here I am adding another actor, Miss Britton, in this case, to the ever lengthening list of actors and actresses I no longer watch regardless of the film or TV show they are in.  I find most of them to be uninformed and in some cases, so offensive to my conservative self.  

I think it is ironic how many of these "informed" women get so upset about Candidate Romney's political positions, when they are actually living with the most blatant pay and sexual discrimination imaginable.  They know if they complain, NO ONE will hire them. They will be labeled as "difficult to work with," or they will be black listed and unable to find work in the industry.

This part of our society, Hollywood, is infamous for its demeaning portrayal of women.  It is a place where most women have to be young, with man made boobs, butts and faces in order to be hired just to take most of their clothes off to make a living.  

And by the way, most of these female actors who are so offended by Romney and his stand on the Lily Ledbetter Act, are hired, ins many cases, for less than half the amount "the Hollywood establishment" pays many of the males in the same industry.  

How hypocritical of them to bitch about the "underpaid women" when they can't even get the same money the guys get for working in the same movie as the other lead.  Hollywood, where the view of a penis is given an X rating, while a view of breasts is given a PG or R rating. 

Okay ladies in Hollywood, pull your heads out of your asses.  When you get equal pay for your job, maybe the rest of us under paid peons out in the real world will get paid as men are paid. After all you know how the rest of the country follows, with bated breath, the shining example you Hollywood types set for us all. .. 

Pollsters...

For several months now, my home phone has been ringing off the hook so to speak.  I have been blessed by the Pollster Interviewers from hell.  And the occasionally I have spoken to someone who is sweet and only cared about the answers to their poll questions and not interested in changing my mind.

In case those of you who follow my random thoughts haven't noticed, I am an unyielding fiscal conservative. So when the Democratic Candidates have their pollsters call to question on me on my opinions of my choice for leaders, I admit upfront that I am voting as conservatively as I can in the upcoming election cycle. I give them the opportunity to decide whether they want to continue with the interview.

I always expect to hear one sided questions from either side.  However, the Democrats have the one sided questions down to an art.  One has to admire the way the word their polls.  Since many of the questions make the interviewee feel like a heel for answering them honestly.  I felt bad for answering the way I did, knowing how heartless the answers sound without any explanation 

But, when someone offers out a statement like this;  "Denny Rehberg wants to change the laws governing abortion so that no abortion will be allowed.  Not even when incest or rape are involved.  On a scale of one to ten, ten being extremely disturbed, 0 having no concern at all for these abused women and girls,"  what do they expect a conservatives response to be when asked how we feel about this?  Now there is a loaded statement with no good answer without an explanation.

My answer was 0. There is no way to say that the reason I feel 0 is the best answer is half our population is female.  Plenty women vote.  Just as many men vote and agree abortion should be legal and will not allow the laws governing them to be changed.  It is a waste of my breath and time to explain the obvious to someone who truly believes that I am an evil woman for responding the way I did.

No matter what happens,I explained to the interviewer, between now and the election day I see nothing being said about a conservative politician that will change my mind and cause me to vote in someone who sees more and higher taxation, and stealing from the richest Americans, as a way to solve our nations financial problems. I will vote conservatively.  And as a fiercely independent voter, for the first time since I cast my first ballot so many years ago, I will NOT be voting for a liberal or a moderate Democrat.  

I told the interviewer that goes double for Barack Obama and Jon Tester...Never ever gonna happen dude.  Especially, I added, Barack Obama, who I feel has failed his country completely and should be tried for treasonous acts against her people.  

The guy hung up on me.  What?  What'd I say?

Tweets calling for the assassination of a presidential candidate

http://www.infowars.com/obama-supporters-continue-threats-to-riot-assassinate-romney/                                        


I wonder how it would be taken, should I, a white conservative, let my fingers do the talking and tweet and text, (stupidly I believe) a threat to assassinate the sitting President of the United States.  I think the Secret Service would find me, arrest me, toss me into prison and lose the keys for twenty or thirty years.  

How the standards differ for conservatives and liberals. I believe it is considered racially and politically incorrect and at the very least, by liberals to be unimportant that the next president of the United States of America is being threatened with death by their fellow Oblahblah loving idiots. Sometimes I just can't believe the things that are sent into the world...

What I do believe, is what I am pissed off about is the utter lack of concern of liberals for the rights and safety of a fellow human being.  But since they believe abortions should be legal up to the moment labor the babies head pops out, I shouldn't be totally surprised.  

Whether the person is politically left or right, black or white, Republican or Democrat, he does not deserve to be threatened with assassination. Nor should anyone threaten harm to his family.  This is such a classless and clueless behavior.  These hate filled people have no concept of how the rest of us see them.  These people are disgusting and should be punished .  And I have the perfect way to do it.  

These dick-less little nothings gleefully hiding behind technology to make their threats of violence toward a presidential candidate (or any other human being) should be arrested, tried, convicted and sent to prison.  An example should be made of them. I think the loss of a digit or two should make them think again...don't you?


I would suggest there should be a prison just for these finger-less tweeters who say they will themselves assassinate Mitt Romney and or his family members, or even call for someone else to do the deed.  Then, the rest of their fingers should be at risk of being removed for their misdeeds while incarcerated. 

What?  You don't like my solution to the threatening tweets and texts?  Is it too harsh?  Oh dear.  Are you offended?!  Too fucking bad.  Pull your liberal head out of your ass.  Because anyone with an ounce of humanity in them will get it.   

Besides, I don't think the loss of a few fingers is near as harsh as calling for or murdering another human being.
