McCain: Sen. Paul, Sen. Cruz and Others 'Wacko Birds'

McCain calls Paul, Cruz, Amash ‘wacko birds’


If this is not a case of the pot calling the kettle black, then I have no idea what is! let me straighten this out for all of you out there who may not know what is going on. Somehow, at some point without anyone knowing, apparently John McCain became the mouthpiece of the Republican Party and decided to call those who stood up on the floor of the Senate to filibuster the Brennan nomination 'wackos'. He seems to think these types of actions are not good for the party nor the country, although I am sure when he stands in defense of his own opinion that is fine to do. When someone else does it, even from his own party, then THAT is wrong and you are a wacko. Remember what I wrote the other day? This is the reason why these old timers need to be led out of the Senate and the Congress and the new guard needs to take over. If we allow John  McCain to be the voice of reason, then we have more problems than we think we do!

Nothing that McCain has ever done for the party really ever mattered much. He ran as a moderate for President and got the crap kicked out of him. I am not sure I would be taking advice from a man who is just barely a Republican, and frankly could be confused as a Democrat by those who pay no attention. he attacks his own party, members of his own party, and for what exactly? What does he gain by doing this? Is this to show the younger Senators that they need to be wise to the elders of the Senate and only do things that they approve of? Even if that is the case, he is going about it in all the wrong ways and the younger generation of Senators may actually see this as a way for the elders of the Senate to try and take advantage of them, making things worse.

We have to understand where John McCain and Lindsey Graham come from. These two men, who have spoken out against the filibuster, were also two men who dined with the President while Paul and others stood on the floor of the Senate. They were wined and dined by our Dear Leader for the evening while some people who actually have a cause stood up and did their jobs. Who am I supposed to respect more in this instance? Am I supposed to respect men who claim to be Conservative but give the President whatever he wants when he wants it? Am I supposed to believe that is the best way to handle the problems we have today? Am I supposed to believe that not asking questions is the right thing to do? If so, then McCain and Graham are the best two men we have in this nation. If that is true, then the younger generation in the Republican Party are playing with  our emotions and the elders of the party must know better.

I do not believe that for ONE MINUTE! Do you believe McCain and Graham and others when they sit and dine with a man that hours before they were talking against? Do you believe men who will sit by and break their promise not to raise taxes just hours after telling people they will not raise their taxes? These two men are Democrats, no matter how you slice it, and this is why the Party is falling apart because it has been taken over by the Left. I may not agree with Paul or even Cruz on everything, but their mentality is not to give the Democrats what they want just because it would make them happy and stop a fight. If this is the mentality of the new Republican Party then these younger Senators may want to rethink their party affiliation and go in another direction. They should not be treated like second-class citizens just because the old guard thinks they run things. It is time the younger generation took the power, and if that takes ticking off the likes of McCain I say keep on keeping on!

The Stupidity of Ignorance: Our Society is Falling Apart!

The title to this piece could be a book in itself, but because it is only a blog and I only have a short amount of time to work on it I will make it as brief as possible. I have been writing extensively about gun control legislation being passed in the states and being proposed on the federal level because I think it is important for people to know about, not because I really want to do it. I wish I could write about dumb things that meant nothing all day, and people would come to read it and be happy knowing their nation was on the right track. Unfortunately, that is not the case.

Every time a mass shooting happens, we here the same things from the Left. I am not here to go through those same talking points again, because I have done that already. What I want to show you, as I write this tonight, is not the stupidity being displayed but the underlying cause for the fear that is being spread. Case in point: a 5-year-old being threatened by school officials that he may be suspended...and for WHAT you might ask? Oh..yeah...he made a gun out of Legos at an after school program that he was attending!!!

Here is where the stupidity should become illegal everyone, because this young man did not make this gun because he secretly wants to shoot all the other 5 year old children in the school, but because he just wanted to make a gun! His mother says,"I was given a book and they told me he’s going to be suspended if he does it again and to sign here,". 

The school administration says the making of the gun can be taken as a threat, and if it happens again the child will be thrown out of school. This seems to be a little harsh, but not unexpected coming from a public school and their zero-tolerance policy that has, by all accounts, actually cost people their lives rather than saved any in the process. The whole argument over zero-tolerance BS has been made by many people, including me, in the past so I will not waste time on that again. But what we have here is one of the reasons why this society is falling apart at the seams! We are making criminals out of children for being children and excusing the behavior of the sickest individuals in the nation and blaming their crimes on the guns. Can you see something wrong with this?

The media is not having a conversation about mental illness, are they? All of these individuals who have gone in and shot up these schools or even workplaces all have some mental problem in their past, yet today we do not talk about that, we talk about the guns they supposedly used in the killing sprees that they went on. We do not talk about the problems these people may or may not have had, but we talk about the guns they were carrying as i the guns told these people to go shoot kids, the elderly, or anyone else for that matter. Normal thinking people know this is not the way forward, but those who want to push an agenda forget that while they push their agenda the REAL problems continue, and they have nothing at all to do with the weapons that are being used.

This is a societal problem, one that cannot be fixed with more laws. The laws we have on the books have not stooped people from killing each other, so maybe it is time we went to a plan B and came up with a new solution. We live in a society where we treat each other like crap for not thinking how the next person thinks, for being fat or maybe not speaking like everyone else. We live in a society full of kids who are growing up thinking it is right to go out and have unprotected, per-marital sexual relations with multiple people (sometimes at one time) and that abortions on demand are as normal as stopping into a Taco Bell drive-thru and ordering a Number 5 on the menu! We live in a society where our entertainers glorify the killing of others over money, women, and just because they feel like it while those same entertainers tell the people it is wrong to own the guns these same entertainers use to draw people into the theaters. If I did not know any better, I would think this society has been so perverted, so displaced with filth, that no matter what we do at this point nothing will ever fix the damage that has been done by those who claim to actually want to help this nation.

And now, just like many other occasions that I have written about over the years, a little boy could be suspended if he makes another Lego gun at an after school program!!! It is a LEGO GUN, NO ONE IS IN DANGER! But that does not matter, because the real reason they do not want the child to be open and make what he wishes is to show the child that guns are bad. The Leftist scum in these schools want to show children there is no need for guns, so the next generation will be even more profoundly against our right to protect ourselves. This is the blind leading the future leaders of tomorrow, and these little ones will be the ones who lead when I am too old to fight back against their hair-brained schemes of keeping us safe, not with guns, but with some toy robot bought behind a Wal-Mart in 45 years for a few thousand dollars! Guns are bad, and THAT is the real lesson they want this child to learn. I have said it before and I will say it again: if your child is in a public school and you have the means of educating them another way and you do not, I consider that more of an abuse of the child most other abuses defined by law (besides beating them senseless or not feeding them...obviously that is much worse...but you get the point!).

There is something wrong with society, not with the Constitution! We have the right to bear arms for a reason, and that reason is not outdated. If we do not start treating each other better, speaking to each other better, or promoting and believing in the value of life more than this nation will only get worse over time. We are throwing away a GIFT that we were given over 200 years ago to make ourselves feel better about something that we cannot control when there are things we can control that we are NOT worried about.

it is time we started to fix what we CAN fix, and allow everything else to happen because some things in life YOU cannot control...no matter what you do! I know that is sad, and I know that might break your little heart, but it is true!

We Did It Once, We Can Do It Again!

The topic of immigration reform is on the table yet again, and I use the term "reform" as loosely as I can considering there is not much talk of real reform going on in Washington today. There are two plans being floated around, one in the Senate with the "Gang of Eight" and another plan the President will be speaking about in Las Vegas later today. The Senate plan would call for a path to citizenship for those who are here illegally, force them to pay some back taxes in some cases, give them green card status after a predetermined amount of time, and base all other actions that would allow these individuals to become citizens on the chance that the border will be secured. While this plan may sound like a decent plan, it seems to me that the Administration would have the final say as to when they felt the border was secure and a few days after passing the legislation the President could, in theory, say the border is secure and the beginning of allowing these illegal citizens to become American citizens will begin.

This is something we have to read into a little more and since there is no real legislation yet on this and only talk from both sides, there is a lot being talked about that will not be in there and a lot not being talked about that WILL be in there. One thing is for sure: In 2007 we all stood up against legislation we did not agree with and we won, and we can do the same thing this time if we choose not to back down!

The President's plan is a little more "give away everything because I want to be King" type mentality. His plan would start people off on a path to citizenship from day one and it would not be hard for even the criminal element to get their piece of the pie. His plan will also not do anything about border security, and we all know we will be told that the border IS secure, and more secure than ever before, so we do not need to do anything about stopping the flow of illegal immigrants into this nation because it is already stopped! The President is wrong, I know this and you know this, heck, even he knows this! That is not the point, though. he does not care if he is right or wrong, he just wants his agenda implemented and that agenda includes amnesty for illegals here right now and then another round when they keep coming in because the Congress and the President were too stupid to take care of our problems when they had a chance. Close the borders, and THEN we talk, which is what the Senate plan would ALMOST do and I would be able to get on board if the proper mechanisms were in place to actually secure the border. I am not sold that it would do that.

In 2007, we all clogged the phone lines in D.C. and elsewhere telling our representatives that we were not happy with the legislation and that they need to stop debate immediately and go on to something else. We can do the same thing here, because we now know what the Obama machine is like. We took it for granted during the ObamaCare debate and we lost because of it. We will not take it for granted this time and we will win, because Congressmen and women only fear one thing more than the President...and that is losing their jobs! If we make it clear that there will be strong opposition the next time they run for office, especially the Republicans, then we might just be able to stop a bad deal from going down. The President's plan is foolish and I doubt the House would ever go for it, although you never know with the crier up there. The Senate's plan is closer to what we actually need, but as of yet I have yet to be shown anything that would actually put safeguards in place to make sure the border was actually secured like it is supposed to be in the plan. No border security for the long term and no stopping the tide of illegals into America, then there must be no deal.

I am not someone who is going to say that there is no way we can deal on this because there is a way, but it has to be done fairly. If they want their Amnesty, then we must have STRONG border enforcement that would include but not be limited to troops on the border, drones, stronger penalties for the people who employ those here illegally, and stronger penalties for being caught here illegally. We need to do something about this but I, like many other Americans, will not be for a plan unless we first control what we have refused to control for many, many decades now!
