Last night America elected a president based on the color of his skin rather than the content of his character. Last night America told the world that skin color is no reason to preclude a man from being president, but it is a perfectly good reason to elect him.

Did the affirmative action crowd really intend for it’s ultimate result to be a man who’s less than qualified being given the highest, most important office in the land?

For those of you who claim he was not voted in because of the color of his skin, I ask you this. If Obama had been the same person, same skinny guy with big ears, no experience, socialist friends, horrible preacher, questionable past and white? …would he have been elected? ..or even won his party’s nomination for that matter? IF OBAMA WAS WHITE, WOULD HE TODAY BE THE PRESIDENT ELECT? If you can’t admit the truth publicly on this one, at least be honest with yourself in private.

I do not contend that he was voted in soley because of the color of his skin, but anyone who claims that it didn’t help put him over the top in a big way is kidding themselves. In a world where we are supposed to completely ignore the color of ones skin, America has elected a president because of it.

America chose to have it’s first black president be a man of little character, a socialistic devote and a non-believer in the individual. “The content of a man’s character is not determined by the color of his skin.” That was the dream anyway.

God help us when Obama ( as no man could ) cannot live up to the utopia he has promised not only the country, but the world.

“It was a long time in coming.” President Obama, no one based on color, creed, race, religion, oppression, anything! - is owed the presidency of the United States.

So the onus is now on you President Obama to be the man you’ve claimed to be for the last thirty days rather than the man you’ve been since you entered into politics. The onus is now on you to actually live up to the office of the President of the United States.

I pray for the sake of our people and our country that you can.

…and now make way for all of the crazies who feel emboldened by the win of someone who was publically identified as a Socialist, yet still won the election.

Simply fucking amazing. Hang on to your wallets and don’t you dare try to be successful in life.

I wish when someone called me out on all of the wrong things I’ve done in my life I could simply shake my head in disapproval and say, “that’s simply not true” and have people shove their heads in the sand ( or up their asses ) and somehow magically believe me even though all of the facts say otherwise.

Maybe I’ll try that when I die…

“My son, you have made many mistakes in your life that you now need to account for.” ::shaking my head:: “No God, that simply isn’t true. Now if you’re done with these personal attacks that no one cares about, I’d like to take my rightful place in Heaven now if you don’t mind.”

…wtf?

“Listening to the mainstream media these last few days I’ve learned a few things about the GOP’s VP nominee but also had to learn a few things on my own.

1. From the media I learned Sarah Palin’s husband has a DUI conviction from 22 years ago. On my own I learned that Ted Kennedy (hero of last week’s tribute at the DNC) was drunk while driving a car off a bridge in Chappaquiddick. That same crash killed a young campaign volunteer with whom he was having an affair. Oh, and that woman was pregnant with his child.

* Mr. Palin’s (who is not running for office) DUI came a mere 4 years after Barack Obama (who is running for president) stopped using cocaine and marijuana (by his own admission in his autobiography).

Shocking - it’s OK for the presidential candidate to use drugs or the party patriarch to kill someone while driving drunk yet the husband of a VP candidate should be demonized for something done 22 years ago.

2. From the media I learned that Sarah Palin’s daughter is pregnant.

* On my own I learned that Joe Biden’s (the other VP candidate) son was paid a large amount of money as a consultant to credit card company MBNA.That same company had business before Senator Joe Biden concerning regulation of consumer credit practices. After the company paid a hefty sum to Mr. Biden’s son, he voted in favor of legislation to help that company.

* That same son, Hunter, is also engaged in a legal investigation and suit for defrauding a former business partner

Shocking - it’s a crime for the republican VP candidate to have a child who’s pregnant even though it’s irrelevant to how she performs her job. It’s ok, however, for the democrat VP candidate while a senator to vote in favor of a company who paid his son over a quarter of a million dollars.

3. From the media I learned that Sarah Palin should be considered ’selfish’ for agreeing to run for VP knowing about her daughter’s condition. Knowing th at her public role would
bring extra scrutiny on the family is selfish and she should have declined to protect her child (actually heard this on ABC this weekend).

Strange - the same people who said Sarah is selfish for running for VP did not seem to care about any impact on Chelsea when Bill Clinton had his dalliance with Monica Lewinsky. That was a private, personal matter you see.

4. From the media I have learned to be ‘concerned’ that Sarah Palin probably won’t be able to manage her family and do an effective job of being VP at the same time.

Funny - I never heard anything about Hillary’s ability to support Chelsea while re-doing healthcare or any of the other feminist icons who say you can balance work and family. They also never mention that Barack will have to balance time with his children while meeting with heads of rogue nations or how Joe Biden’s kids don’t even have a mom and will be fighting for his time while he hosts white house coffee fundraisers and sells nights in the Lincoln bedroom.

5. From the media I have learned that Sarah Palin is ‘too inexperienced’ to be a heartbeat-away from the presidency.

* Apparently taking on corruption in your own party and running a state that’s the same size people-wise as Delaware (hint hint: that’s where Joe Biden is from) is not really experience.

* However, time spent as a ‘community organizer’ and less than 180 days in the senate where you’ve authored no significant legislation is just the type of ‘change’ we’re looking for from the top of the ticket.

Funny - inexperience at the top of the ticket is a mantra for ‘change’ and ‘hope’ while strong practical everyday experience as the #2 is cause for concern.

6. From the media I learned that Sarah Palin’s husband once got a ticket for fishing without a license.

* I haven’t heard much about the fact that if he were still a practicing attorney, the VP candidate Joe Biden would be dis-barred for plagiarism not once but multiple times.

It’s ok to break the rules if you’re a democrat candidate but not Ok if you are the spouse of a republican candidate.

7. From the media I learned that Sarah Palin doesn’t know much about Iraq; in fact we wonder if she even knows where it is.

* Sarah’s son volunteered into the US military and is now deployed in Iraq. I guess that doesn’t count.

Sarah has spent more time with troops in Iraq (as commander of the Alaska National Guard she visited Iraq last year) than Obama has even while running for president. In fact, when Sarah went to Iraq she spent time with the troops. When Obama went there, he skipped a base visit to instead go work out at the Ritz Carlton.

8. From the media I learned that Sarah Palin is a ‘lightweight’ and she better be a ‘quick study’ to keep up with this team.

Funny, nobody is talking about how, after Barack Obama had ‘visited 57 states’ according to him he only had ‘5 more to go’ or endless other stupid gaffes that expose who he really is.

9. From the media I have learned that (gasp!), Sarah Palin’s husband was once a registered member of a 3rd party that favored states’ rights (man,this is really bad stuff).

* That same media has been silent to the story that when Barack Obama announced his first senate run, he did so in the home of William Ayers. Mr. Ayers is an un-repentant terrorist convicted for bombing the pentagon. This same Mr. Ayers said on 9/11 that he and his group did not do enough to harm our military and he wished he had done more. During the same time as that comment, he was serving on a board with Barack Obama. A board setup by Mr Ayers who appointed Obama chair of that board to hand out millions of dollars. Where that money went and all other notes and information about their serving together is now locked up by the corrupt Chicago machine and reporter access to those records are being blocked by the Obama campaign.”

This is absolutely horrible. Especially now that I am a father, this story literally makes me ache inside. I first heard it yesterday on a local talk show - Jim Villanucci’s show on 770KKOB. It came on again today, this time on a national show, Sean Hannity’s show also on 770KKOB. Ostensibly you could say it’s about abortion, but it’s not. Individuals views on abortion are what they are. This is not abortion. Yet I do believe that our societies current trend towards not taking responsibility for anything has led to things such as this.

What kills me is, if you’re going to do something wrong - or be a part of something that is wrong, at least be honest with yourself about what it is you are doing. Don’t kid yourself by skewing the rights and wrongs of it. I have done wrong in my life and ultimately I know I am going to have to answer for that. That’s a big enough burden, but to try and pacify myself by fooling myself into thinking my individual wrongs in life were really not wrong is ridiculous.

On my desk is a photo of my baby girl and I imaging her being the one, newly born, who’s left all alone in a hospital washroom to choke, gasp for air and slowly die - and I go literally cold and numb inside.

God help me. God help us all.

McCain’s spokesperson Tucker Bounds tells TMZ that on the subject of energy, Paris is deeper than Barack. He says, “Sounds like Paris is taking the ‘All of the Above’ energy approach that John McCain has advocated — both alternatives and drilling. Perhaps the reality is that Paris has a more substantive energy plan than Barack Obama.”

It’s true, while I’m watching the video I’m thinking to myself… “omg, she’s actually making sense!” Well, other than the “crisis” part. We’re not in a crisis you retards. There is no oil shortage. We’re just really sick of paying our enemies an exorbitant amount of money for a product that we have in abundance right underneath our own soil.

Either way, I’m pretty sure that Paris Hilton speaking intelligently on energy policy has got to be one of the signs of the apocalypse ;o)

Either way, it still beats doing IT. oohhhhhhhhhhh! ;o)

I told ya that Will and I hang out all the time ;o)

Step Brothers

Ok, first of all, I didn’t touch it. I swear.

A buddy of mine and I were eating lunch at Chili’s the other day and as we are pulling out of the parking lot ( a parking lot shared with a Sheraton hotel that is undergoing some renovations ) I spot their sign…

Thank God for camera phones.

I have become extremely busy lately. Too busy to post here.

There is something about that, “too busy to post here”. There is something about that thought that bugged me.

I used to really enjoy posting here. Putting down my random thoughts. Sharing my random BS. What happened? Had I really become that busy?

Then a question hit me. Am I being productive in my “busy’ness” or have I simply allowed my business to have me running around in a million different directions all at once?

Unfortunately, I think it’s more the of the later. So I’m working on that, and in the meantime, here I am posting again.

So whats new? Well, I finally got rid of the really wimpy sounding horn that came in my Tacoma. I went to the salvage yard today and pulled a horn from a ‘73 Chevy.

Muuuuuch better ;o)
