People, people, people.....you have got to stop rationalizing here. Drugs kill people and that's a fact. Drugs destroy families and people’s lives and that's a fact, and although cost is a problem, that is not the main cause or ruin to people’s lives. If you do drugs you are going to always be for legalization and some folks who don’t do drugs feel the same way maybe because they have a family member who does drugs.
Let’s take a look at Amsterdam where they took a different approach to the problem by setting up government run drug houses where they give the junkie a fix through a clean needle. Some of the drugs in Amsterdam are still illegal but tolerated, but you have all those who are constantly strung out on drugs being cared for day and night by the government…that’s you folks, that means more tax dollars to support those who feel the need to have you pay for their problems.
Alcohol is legal in this country and how many people die at the hands of drunk drivers every year? If drug use is legalized how many more people will be killed at the hands of someone who is stoned or so messed up that they drive like they are drunk? Should I subject myself, my wife, my children, my grandchildren and my friends to this harsh reality and legalize drugs and take my chances even more than I do right now? If you say that is not relevant, you have obviously never lost someone to the antics of a drunk driver, or you are brain dead.
People are irresponsible, they drink and drive, they text and drive, they will do drugs and drive, in other words they kill people! So, instead of making texting illegal as has had to be done in this country, should we just legalize it and continue to allow people to get killed by irresponsible drivers? Why should we have to have a law that says it’s illegal to text and drive….why aren’t people responsible enough to figure that out on their own without the government having to step in and pass a law that makes it illegal?
Question: If I were to approach you carrying a gunny sack with something moving inside and then told you that I had a very large rattlesnake inside and that I would give you a $100.00 dollar bill if you would stick your hand and arm into the bag and touch the snake, would you??? Well, would you????? Hell no you wouldn’t, unless you are a total whack job and if that’s the case you’re gonna need the $100.00 to get yourself to a hospital really really fast, cause I really do have a rattle snake in that bag! We are talking about the same thing here!
What about the bar owner who serves the guy sitting at the bar a half dozen drinks and then allows him to leave the bar, knowing full well that the chances of him getting into a car and driving is about 99%. Now if you owned a bar that had a one way door that allowed them in but not out till the next morning so you were not putting them on the streets after serving them a half dozen drinks I would not have a problem with that, but that is not the case. Should the bar owner be required to have someone who escorts every patron out the door and into a cab? Well, frankly if I owned a bar, that is exactly what would be going on. You wanna drink, you hand over the car keys before you start, you can come back the next day and get your keys and your car because frankly I would not want on my conscience that I sent him out onto the streets and he ran over and killed your sister!!
You will never get people to become responsible for their actions especially when they are so drunk or stoned they don't even know who they are, so legalizing drugs is a waste of time and life and I am afraid that is a cold hard fact.
We have prisons that are housing a population of at least 50% non violent offenders, meaning drug offenses of one type or another; this is a huge problem due to the enormous amounts of money that is being spent to house these people who cannot be responsible enough to stay out of prison. So what's the answer? Do we set up drug compounds where the government supplies the drugs and if you enter you cannot leave until you are straight? Geezz these people would never leave and now we are spending more tax dollars! Do you take away the drivers license so they can't drive, which you and I both know that they will do anyway with or without a license? Do you legalize drugs and "force the criminal element to adapt or go out of business"? Not likely, because the drug lords will just find some new illegal substance to push and sell, and you know that is not a fantasy, cause if you take away their livelihood, they will find something bigger or better to replace it! I wanna know why these drug lords are not just picked up, put against the wall and shot! They have murdered so many people with their drugs that there should be no question about their guilt or innocence. I’ll tell you why, because when the government authorizes find the drug lord’s stash of money and weapons they confiscate it and then it belongs to them. The drug lords are back on the street in a short time and the process is repeated.
When I was a kid the prisons were executing people all the time, but now that all the bleeding heart liberals have got everyone running scared it is happening less and less all the time. Necessity is what drives people, and if they lose the necessity, they will find a replacement. So instead of trying to eliminate the drug problem, why not eliminate the source of the problem? We used to have bounty hunters in this country; dead or alive were what the posters said, why not institute the bounty hunter program and pay a bounty on the drug lords head? They find a drug dealer they eliminate him choosing the dead rather than the alive portion of the wanted poster. Maybe that’s the answer here! We have so many people that are so gung ho to have the government take care of everything for us, give us drugs, give us money, give us a place to live, hold our hand, blah blah blah, I’d rather reinstate the bounty hunters!
Drugs are dangerous, you know it, and I know it. MJ is probably the least dangerous but it becomes very dangerous when you climb behind the wheel of a vehicle, and you know this will happen. I have driven down the street of California many times and have spotted people smoking pot while they were driving….and yes, if there is any doubt, you could smell it! I have seen many people I have known over the years who had succumbed to drugs and or alcohol and spend their lives living like a walking zombie, or their minds are so scrambled that they are like 3 year olds most of the time, or even worse, they died, some of them by their own hand!
I would like to see a better way of doing things with the drug problem if for nothing else than to ease the amount of tax dollars that are wasted every day to enforce the laws. What is required here is that people take responsibility, but that is not going to happen, so until that day does become a reality, the fight to legalizing drugs is just another can of gasoline on the fire!
Got a suggestion? I would like to hear it!!
Your Government is slowly and methodically chipping away at the most valuable asset we have......

Up On My Soapbox!!
I'm gonna climb up on my soapbox this morning for a few minutes to offer my readers some sound and practical advice. As I have sat here watching the drama unfold in Haiti over the past few weeks, the earthquake in Japan yesterday, the 8.8 earthquake that has happened in Chile this morning, the potentially dangerous Tsunami that is headed for Hawaii, I can't help but see that God is sending the world many signs of his displeasure over the ways of the world and I don't see these disasters ceasing anytime soon.
My family is prepared for a disaster by making sure we have adequate food and water, paper goods, alternate electricity source, fuel storage and provisions, emergency radio and first aid supplies to care for and protect my family should we be confronted with an unforeseeable disaster or shortage.
Hawaii has been given a good six hour window to prepare for an approaching disaster and as I watch the television coverage, the people coming from the stores with basket loads of provisions in the event of being pinned down without electricity, food or water, I only hope that you will realize that the stores only carry so much merchandise and it is not enough to take care of all the citizens of Hawaii or Sacramento or Chili or any other location in the world, they will soon run out, the disaster strikes and then panic ensues. Looting, pillaging and whatever means soon become the norm as we saw in Haiti over the past few weeks.
I'm not saying that there is a disaster coming to a city near you, but what I am saying is that it is necessary to BE PREPARED!! Please!! Those of you who receive my posts regularly via email are my friends and family and I would never want to see any of you in a position where you could not take care of yourselves and your family members. Take the necessary time and effort to become prepared in the event of a disaster! Especially if you live in and area that is prone to natural disasters! Do it for me!! Do it for yourselves!! Do it for your family!!

Ft. Hood Terrorist Attack
From The Boston Globe:
"WASHINGTON - Army superiors were warned about the radicalization of Major Nidal Malik Hasan years before he allegedly massacred 13 soldiers at Fort Hood, Texas, but did not act in part because they valued the rare diversity of having a Muslim psychiatrist, military investigators wrote in previously undisclosed reports.
An obvious “problem child’’ spouting extremist views, Hasan made numerous statements that were not protected by the First Amendment and were grounds for discharge by violating his military oath, investigators found.
Examples of Hasan’s radical behavior have previously been disclosed in press accounts based on interviews with unnamed Army officials, including his defense of suicide bombings and assertions that Islamic law took priority over his allegiance to the United States."
So, in other words.....the military investigation into the Ft. Hood terrorist attack has come to a conclusion that the rest of us already knew!
Major Nidal Malik Hasan was allowed to continually violate his oath and openly promote his Islamic extremism to protect "diversity". The lefts absurd politically-correct policies, along with Obama's non-stop undermining of national defense, are already well on their way to bringing us into the next 9/11 catastrophe.
Democrats Launch Covert Assault on CIA
On Thursday night February 25, 2010 while no one was supposedly paying attention, the Democrats once again tried to slip a stealth attack on the intelligence community into a bill without letting anyone see or debate it. If the bill had passed, it would have criminalized virtually anything and everything the CIA does to interrogate terrorists other than politely asking them to provide information on their allies.
This would have meant that any CIA officer who even did something as harmless as putting a sack over a detainees head or using one of their phobias to gain information and getting them to talk would have put the officer in line for 15 years in federal prison.
Fortunately, Republicans caught the attempt and it started a huge uproar. The Democrats are doing everything in their power to compromise national defense and every level and in every conceivable way. These people are hell bent on creating another 9/11 and I for the life of me cannot understand why anyone would want to inflict that type of destruction upon anyone, especially their fellow countrymen.
This is textbook Nazi-ism, so many of the things the Democrats are doing fall directly in line with what the Nazi's did to gain control of Germany and lets not forget that at the time when the Nazi's fell, there was still at least half of the population that thought Hitler was doing a wonderful job, despite the millions of people he was murdering....guess that would fall in line with what Forrest Gumps mama used to say....."Stupid is as Stupid does.!"

Quote Of The Week
"Frankly, I don't know what it is about California, but we seem to have a strange urge to elect really obnoxious women to high office. I'm not bragging, you understand, but no other state, including Maine, even comes close. When it comes to sending left-wing dingbats to Washington, we're number one. There's no getting around the fact that the last time anyone saw the likes of Barbara Boxer, Dianne Feinstein, and Nancy Pelosi, they were stirring a cauldron when the curtain went up on 'Macbeth'. The three of them are like jackasses who happen to possess the gift of blab. You don't know if you should condemn them for their stupidity or simply marvel at their ability to form words."

TURN OFF THE PHONE AND DRIVE!
The convenience of a cellular phone has brought with it an insurmountable problem of people being involved in and causing accidents. Various studies have shown that driving while using a cell phone can be as dangerous as driving with a blood alcohol level over the legal limit. Estimates of the number of U.S. traffic deaths caused by cell phone talking while driving are generally in the 2,000 - 3,000 range with one hundred times as many injuries. Yes that is SEVERAL HUNDRED THOUSAND accidents caused by cell phones. NOW, add in text messaging which is far far more dangerous! If you watch a person who is texting, they have absolutely no clue or awareness of what is going on around them, now put them in a car texting while driving! I have seen people walking and texting who have walked right into a light pole, they never saw it coming.....now put that same person in a car, driving, texting, and doing who knows whatever else while driving. This has got to stop people!! I worked in the cellular phone industry for over 20 years installing hands free devices to keep people focused on their driving. They were not perfect by any means, but they made a very big difference for those who used them and learned how to do voice dialing while keeping their eyes on the road and their hands on the wheel!!
This picture speaks volumes and sadly, I saw an accident of this magnitude not too long ago when a semi pulling a flatbed trailer loaded with steel was going way over the speed limit, driver was texting and plowed into the back of a line of five cars without ever hitting the brakes until he was up to the 3rd car, taking out all of them and the three cars in the lane next to them. This is not a joke folks, if you can't stay off the phone, leave it home!
If your an offender, my only hope is that you stop at once before you kill or seriously hurt someone or turn out to be like the person who was texting in what's left of the vehicle pictured above......but I certainly wonder how many other lives the person who was driving and texting in this automobile took with them in this accident... cause it's for dang sure, no one got out alive!!
TURN OFF THE PHONE AND DRIVE!
Hooray for Rhode Island!!
The Central Falls, Rhode Island School Board is standing up to the rampant union abuses that have bankrupted the system and destroyed the quality of education there. At present more than 50% of the students are failing every single class.
WOW!! They are firing every last over-paid, self-serving union parasite and the very few actual teachers that exist there at present. The motion was made by
Superintendent Frances Gallo yesterday to remove the failing teachers and the School Board promptly voted to affirm and all the Central Falls teachers will now be fired at the end of the school year. Hooray for Rhode Island!! It's about time that people are standing up for what is right! I would love to shake that woman's hand!
To address the school's inexcusable state of ruin, Superintendent Gallo introduced a plan to turn things around by slightly extending school hours and requiring teachers to do more tutoring. But the characteristically greedy, self-serving unions refused to budge an inch, pointing to the fact that these "teachers" had already improved math scores so much that a full 7% of the students are now proficient in math and the drop-out rate has plummeted all the way down to a mere 52%. 52%???? You have got to be kidding!!!!
I am glad to see that Gallo had the spine to stand up to these union morons and has taken them down before they can do any more damage to the town! This is what the unions do, they put these teachers in a position of "doesn't matter how you do your job, you can't get fired" and thus our kids are suffering at the hands of bad teachers being kept in jobs by the union goons.
I won't say that unions have never had a place in this country, because at one time they were very necessary, unfortunately, all the unions do nowadays is abuse the system at everyone else's expense in the name of power and wealth!

The 2010 Census
So, the Census Bureau, is about a month away from its 2010 population count and it has already wasted millions of dollars paying temporary employees who never did the work and others who over billed for travel. This information was according to an audit obtained by The Associated Press, you can see the report at the bottom of this post.
On a positive note, their words not mine, federal investigators said it was appropriate for the Census Bureau to spend $133 million on its advertising campaign, including $2.5 million for Super Bowl spots that some Republicans derided as wasteful. Why are we advertising the Census???? It comes in the mail every 10 friggen years, you fill it out, mail it back, you can lie and put whatever number you want on the form....and my bet is there are plenty of areas that are doing just that.
But Commerce Department inspector general Todd Zinser makes clear the government is at risk of wasting millions of additional dollars without tighter spending controls on its 1 million temporary workers. He stated that "the costs were substantial."
Substantial??? The census estimate to do a national head count is sitting around a $15 billion price tag....more wasted money that we don't have!!
Census Bureau spokesman Stephen Buckner of course had plenty of excuses about why the money has been waisted....got something to do with training costs and folks being let go without performing work. Buckner claims that the agency has made adjustments.....oh yeah, I'm buyin this!! He also stated that the bureau is "confident they have better estimates and cost controls in place." Oh, I'm fallin for this one...how about you????
Here are the audit findings:
_More than 10,000 census employees were paid more than $300 apiece to attend training for the massive address-canvassing effort, but they quit or were let go before they could perform any work. Cost: $3 million.
_Another 5,000 employees collected $300 for the same training but worked a single day or less. Cost $1.5 million.
_Twenty-three temporary census employees were paid for car mileage at 55 cents a mile, even though the number of miles they reported driving per hour exceeded the number of hours they actually worked.
_Another 581 employees who spent the majority of their time driving instead of conducting field work also received full mileage reimbursements, which investigators called questionable.
_Other temporary employees claimed nearly 3.9 million miles driven at the mileage reimbursement rate of 58.5 cents per mile, even though the federal rate had been reduced to 55 cents as of January 2009. The result: excess payments of roughly $136,000.
Census regional offices that had mileage costs exceeding their planned budgets included Atlanta, Charlotte, N.C., Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Detroit, Kansas City and Seattle.
The Super Bowl advertising — which included a 30-second spot in the third quarter, two 30-second pregame spots and on-air mentions — was panned by media critics as weak and ineffective, and it was criticized as wasteful by Republicans including Sen. John McCain of Arizona. But the inspector generals report said the advertising was consistent with government goals of boosting participation in the count.
So.....another totally efficient government run program.....are you surprised????

Democrats Push HR 4530, a Radical Safe Schools Czar’s Dream Come True
Article by Jim Hoft
On January 20, 2009 President Barack Obama promised to “begin again the work of remaking America.” He wasn’t kidding. In his first year Barack Obama and Democrats set all kinds of spending records. They managed to triple the national debt in a year and watched the unemployment rate jump to double digits. President Obama dithered and waffled on national security and joined with Marxist dictators to side against an American ally.
But you haven’t seen anything yet. The democrats in Congress are moving closer to passing the most radical anti-American, anti-Christian, anti-family bill through Congress that we have seen in decades.
HR4530 is a radical Safe Schools Czar’s dream come true.
Forget reading, writing and arithmatic, Democrats have more important subjects in mind for your child. Democrats are working to push HR 4530 through Congress. This bill will force educators to prohibit harassment, violence and discrimination faced by students based on their sexual orientation. That doesn’t sound so bad, but that’s not all it does.
The bill will also allows educators and education officials like Safe Schools Czar Kevin Jennings to push their radical agenda in the classroom. And, if you don’t like the new policies or object to the program, the bill authorizes the federal government to cut off the educational assistance to schools that fail to enforce the new rules. Critics of the bill understand the law would give the controversial Safe Schools Czar, Kevin Jennings, almost unlimited authority to mandate sexual indoctrination in public schools at taxpayer expense. It won’t matter what your child is taught at home, this bill will allow radical educators to push their agenda in public schools despite your possible concerns.
U.S. Rep. Jared Polis (D-Colo.) introduced HR 4530 School Non-Discrimination Act of 2010 late last month to prohibit harassment, violence and discrimination faced by students based on their sexual orientation. The bill “prohibits public school students from being excluded from participating in, or subject to discrimination under, any federally-assisted educational program on the basis of their actual or perceived sexual orientation or gender identity or that of their associates.” The law considers perceived harassment to be a form of discrimination. The bill authorizes federal departments and agencies to enforce these new rules by cutting off the educational assistance of recipients found to be violating them. It allows an aggrieved individual to assert a violation of this Act in a judicial proceeding and recover reasonable attorney’s fees should they prevail. 65 democrats signed on to this bill. The bill was referred to the House Committee on Education and Labor on January 27, 2010.
According to Metro Weekly:
The bill would require that no student in public schools be “excluded from participation in, or be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance” based on the student’s sexual orientation or gender identity. The bill also would prohibit harassment based on either characteristic.
It sounds innocent enough until you look at its real intent.
The purpose of this bill is not what is being stated, but is quite simply to mandate in public schools one acceptable viewpoint on the issue of homosexuality, using purported violence or harassment as the rationale, and the power of the feds as the hammer. The goal is to silence those who may warn about or object to student expression of homosexuality or gender confusion… The federal governmental intrusion and sweeping new unregulated powers in what are local and state matters are proposed in this bill. Enforcement will primarily be through federal agencies, which will craft new regulations to back up this bill’s provisions with the President’s approval. Can you spell “czar”?
In other words, if you oppose radical sexual material detailing sex between first graders or promoting S&M but the Safe Schools Czar or some other official believes it is appropriate- tough. If you disagree with books romanticizing child rape or books with pictures of men having sex- tough. If you oppose weekend student-teacher seminars with fisting lectures and gay bar guides- tough. If government officials want to promote this in your child’s classroom then you’ll just have to get used to it.
No one wants to see a child picked on, harrassed or ridiculed, but this bill takes government control to a whole new level. It is a radical’s dream come true. This bill is a direct assault on our nation’s moral fabric.

BYU VS. AIR FORCE
I want to post something very positive today, something that was
forwarded to me by a very close friend of mine and is something
I wish to share with everyone.
Some people take their football and the cheering for their alma
mater way too seriously. In the "big" picture of life, a game
should be a game, with good sportsmanship and no hard feelings.
Here's a good model. Just prior to the start of the Air Force
BYU football game, Sept. 22, 2009,this video was broadcast in
the BYU stadium in Provo, Utah. Later, the USAF Academy
Superintendent, Lt. Gen. Gould, showed this clip to his faculty
and staff. He told everyone that BYU ran it minutes before
the kickoff at the game. He was clearly moved by it, as were
those who watched it. BYU is a class act.

When he finally completed his transformation of
America into a Socialist State , people finally woke up, but
it was too late...
Any one of these things, in and of themselves does not
really matter. But when you add them up one by one you get a
phenomenal score that points to the fact that our Obama is
determined to make America over into a Marxist/Socialist
society. All of the items in the preceding paragraphs have
been put into place. All can be documented very easily.
Before you disavow this, do an internet search. The
last paragraph alone is not yet cast in stone. You and I will
write that paragraph. Will it read as above or will it be a
more happy ending for most of America ? Personally, I like
happy endings...
If you are an Obama Supporter, please recognize that
you have elected a president who is a 'socialist'. There is
simply no debate about these facts. But you need to seek the
truth; you will be richer for it. Don't just belittle the
opposition. Search for the truth. I did. Democrats,
Republicans, Independents, Constitutionalist, Libertarians and
what have you, we all need to pull together. We all must pull
together or watch the demise of a society that we all love and
cherish. If you are a religious person, pray for our nation...
Never before in the history of America have we been
confronted with problems so huge that the very existence of
our country is in jeopardy.
Don't rely on most television news and what you read
in the newspapers for the truth. Search the internet. Yes,
there is a lot of bad
information, lies and distortions there as well, but
you are smart enough to spot the fallacies. Newspapers are a
dying breed. They are currently seeking a bailout from the
government. Do you really think they are about to print the
truth? Obama praises all the television news networks except
Fox who he is currently waging an open war against. There must
be a reason. He does not call them down on any specifics, and
he has failed to refute any facts presented - because it is
all true. If they lie, he should call them out on it but he
doesn't.
Please, find the truth, it will set you free...
Our biggest enemy is not China , Russia or Iran ; no,
our biggest enemy is the current contingent of politicians in
Washington DC led by the Progressive Left Liberals who support
the previously mentioned things...
Wake Up America! There's still time in 2010 to take
back America and send a message LOUD and CLEAR to those who
think 'it doesn't matter'...
I happen to think 'it does matter'....
God Bless America !
