The Courts are Unconstitutional

So now the courts can overturn and overrule the votes of the citizens of a state.

What was the point of spending the money, running the campaigns and having everyone in California vote on 'Proposition 8' regarding same sex marriage? Proposition 8 was voted for by a landslide, continuing to disallow gay marriage in California, and I guess that didn't count for anything. The courts have now overturned the vote and have said that gay marriage is now allowed in the state.
Whether you are for or against gay marriage, you have to admit that the legal system has gotten way out of hand. What is a democracy if the voice of voters can be cast out and disregarded by the voice of one judge in a court? Are we really going to give judges that much power? Am I the only one that this bothers?

We are funding the Taliban

I'm not crazy about paying a lot of taxes. I know some are necessary, and I love this country so I try to complain only a little. I also like to think the tax money I'm handing over to Uncle Sam is going to be spent benefiting me, my family and my country.

The amount of American money and lives lost in the Middle East is bothersome to say the least. I'm not against the idea of crushing a regime that strikes terror in the US and other nations. I am against failing and sitting back watching us make really awful decisions that we are paying for. Our means and methods are questionable. Is it absolutely crazy to think that we could send teams of specialist into Afghanistan and seek out the heads of these networks to tear them apart from top to bottom instead of spending so much time, money and lives chasing the ground men and bottom feeders of these terrorist groups? Is it really necessary for us to set up bases, establish our presence, tear down the place one small bomb at a time then stay and rebuild it all at a cost higher than was paid in the first place? Are we playing SIM City Afghanistan?

We did this in Japan after dropping 'The big one,' and that made sense, but does that method work in this new sand cave and dugout war? I feel like the roles have reversed. We beat the British with their uptight, single row, musket lines with our early American frontiersmen, hunter style. Now we are applying large scale, atomic war rules on a game of cat and mouse, and I don't believe it's working. It's definitely not efficient!

It's obvious there are way more skins to this onion than we have been told. Obama based his whole campaign on the speed and methods at which he would remove troops from the Middle East and now he is sending more in. Apparently the insider information as to why we need to be there is pretty compelling or Obama is just a follower instead of a leader which I don't believe is the case.

So fine; this Middle East cause is important. Can we at least do it right and efficiently? When my tax money is spent on rebuilding waterplants ran by the Taliban, I get a bit worried about our process over there. I just read in the WSJ that we have already spent over $100,000,000 of your and my tax money rebuilding one waterplant in Afghanistan of which the profits go directly to the Taliban. Does that sound like a good idea? We can't get a grip on our deficit, it could destroy our country as we know it and yet we throw around money funding the very foe we are trying to defeat. We are totally self defeating and I think it's past time our direction on this war is reevaluated!

It's time for an upgrade on the US economic policies

Why is it so hard to address the clear issues with our government's welfare and unemployment flaws?

Has the idea of shorter term unemployment benefits or a form of checks and balances been tested and failed or is it just easier to roll out billions in tax money benefits with no strings attached pushing our country so far into the red that even developing countries are afraid to buy our debt? Our policies are just way to easy to take advantage of and the US is no longer a place of common integrity and morals to allow for such free form policies to work. Of course in a perfect world, the US citizens would find their moral compass again, stick with commitments of loans, not only think of '#1', quit thinking the government owes them money and stop looking for a way to cheat the system, but I honestly don't see that happening any time soon, if ever. Not only is the backbone of Christian fibers thinner than ever in the families of modern day Americans, but also the influence of foreign customs and outlook that have become the majority in the large population cities near the coasts makes policies using the 'honor system' a joke.

People move to the US from countries in the Middle East like Iran where the government has so exploited the citizens that the people are constantly looking for a way to get the government back by working the system. This outlook on society makes the current economic policies in the US viewed as naïve and ignorant. They actually laugh at the very idea of not taking advantage of being able to walk away from a house loan if the house didn't go up in value. Especially if the insane government is going to give you a tax credit of $5,000 for selling your house short! Not taking a last minute $200,000 home equity loan right before selling the house short also would have just been a lack of good business skills instead of considered stealing and bad character. If it's allowed, it must be OK, right? After all, we can't decide what is right and wrong on our own. Why would anyone want to be like the sucker American that would actually go out and get a job after losing another job when Uncle Sam will pay you to do nothing over the next 6-12 months if you just go to interviews which you can have a temp agency set up so you don't even have to pick up the phone.

It's not just 1st and 2nd generation Americans working the system, and I don't mean to make it seem that way. The US just doesn't have the same character and true family leadership as we did in the 40's and 50's. The same rules don't apply. Shouldn't our government's economic policies respond to the manner in which they will be received? I think it's time for an upgrade in policy due to a downgrade in character.

I'm not going to just point out issues without at least giving a few suggestions for resolve:

1) If your employee is doing well, you reward them with a bonus. If your friend is down on his luck, you lend him money. We have this backwards for some reason. If you pay your taxes, loans and bills then you are the small percentage of citizens paying all the money to make the rest of the country survive. If you lose your job or walk out on an loan commitment, the US gives you free money. I think unemployment benefits should be in the form of a loan where the interest rate goes up each month and only pays out 3 months. Once you get a job, the loan payments are automatically taken out of your paycheck at a reasonable pace. If you don't get a job in the 3 months, the amount borrowed is taken from your paychecks in the same manner when you finally do get a job, but the benefits/assistance stops at 3 months. This encourages you to get a job quickly and actually makes money for the government while helping people get back on their feet.

2) If you sell your house short, your credit should drop at least 150 points, not the current 30.

3) Credit flaws should stay on your credit report 12 years instead of the current 7.

4) If Obama wants to give away free tax money - have reward programs that pay a bonus to people that pay their taxes on time a certain amount of years in a row, or for people who pay back their unemployment loans in full. This will encourage people to get on track and stay on track.

I'm a firm believer that if we continue to give benefits for doing nothing, more people will do nothing. Look at ancient Rome.

Coupons for Guns

In Los Angeles the city gave away grocery coupons in exchange for guns, no questions asked.

In Watts and Compton, only women showed up and turned over around 250 illegal handguns and even fully automatic assault rifles. Well good for you ladies! I hope they were good coupons though because someone is getting b*tch slapped tonight!

Oh Really?

For all that myself and others have blamed Bush for, I don't know how much we can blame him for the housing melt down. If you don't listen to a guy and even stop a guy from adding regulations on the lending all the way back to 2001, it's hard to say it's all his fault.

A day without a gay

This is a good one. Did you read about this? In California the gays are all not going to show up to work all day today in protest to the prop 8 vote that disallows gay marriages. This gay without a day is a take off of the widely successful (sarcasm) day without a Mexican. Any gay Mexicans in California are really using up those 2008 sick days aren't they!?

Prop 8 went to vote and the voters voiced their opinions. If the majority of people don't want you to get married. Do you really think the majority of people are going to miss you if you don't show up for work today?

I bet there are a lot of straight guys that are really sick today that are going to work anyway so no one will think they are gay!

Swings both ways

Nobody thinks twice about a bumper sticker that says 'Latinos for Obama'. Why? Because they shouldn't. It's a harmless statement of support.

But, would it seem wrong if you saw a bumper sticker that said 'Whites for McCain' ? Of course the person would be ran off the road, put to shame on the evening news, lose his job, and in Los Angeles where I took this picture, possibly shot! There's something very racist about the difference in these two situations.

Maybe this should change. Maybe we should allow white people to show support or pride. Maybe we shouldn't be so racist towards whites.

Hate Crime? Hate Money..Obama the Answer?

Do you have any idea how much money the NAACP and many other organizations that 'fight' against racism generate a year? It's big money. Someone who's in the know... post it on here please. In fact, I wonder, with all the private donations, etc that come in to these organizations for the attorney's to fight hate crimes, can they even afford to actually win these cases? If they actually stop racism, doesn't it stop the donations? In other words, wouldn't the end of racism be the end of of these companies and all the $$ that comes with it?

Maybe that's why we see the NAACP creating racism out of issues that have nothing to do with white, brown or black. For instance; a black fireman that pulls endless pranks on his buddies in the fire department in Los Angeles and is practically known for his many pranks finally gets a taste of his own medicine. In retaliation, Tennie Pierce was served some spaghetti with dog-food hidden in it... Bottom line, to save their positions in office, the state city legislature awarded him 10 fucking million dollars because his attorneys spun this case as a hate crime!! Keep in mind that 47% of FDLA is minority, meaning he was probably served this dish from a minority regardless of the fact that he is the obvious prankster that was brought out in the case. This was later over ruled to be a meager $2.7 million dollars and the white police captain of Los Angeles was immediately replaced with a black police captain.

Can someone please give me a plate of dog-food?? $2.7 million?? That's enough to make someone racist.

You want to be treated as equal?? Then let people you pull pranks on pull pranks on you. Quit crying like a little bitch every time something happens to you and acting like it's racism and wanting the government that you say shit on you to pay you money you didn't earn and don't deserve. Don't let the lawyers and NAACP make you think you're getting 'hated on' so they can win money in court houses that could better be served with criminals and other legitimate cases.

I could go on and on, but I'm afraid I'll get sued because the freedom of speech only protects you unless DARE say anything anti fake racism. So I'll finish with this... If Barack Hussein Obama wins this election, that's it, right? Shut the fuck up on racism... Stop expecting spots in colleges you didn't have the grades for and aren't paying for while bitching that everyone is hating on you. Stop expecting everyone to walk on eggshells around you because racism is obviously only continuing because it's a great way to make money.
