Obama

A Black Columnist on Obama
Ken Blackwell - Columnist for the New York Sun
It's an amazing time to be alive in America . We're in a year of firsts in this presidential election: the first viable woman candidate; the first viable African-American candidate; and, a candidate who is the first front-running freedom fighter over 70. The next president of America will be a first.
We won't truly be in an election of firsts, however, until we judge every candidate by where they stand. We won't arrive where we should be until we no longer talk about skin color or gender.
Now that Barack Obama steps to the front of the Democratic field, we need to stop talking about his race, and start talking about his policies and his politics.
The reality is this: Though the Democrats will not have a nominee until August, unless Hillary Clinton drops out, Mr. Obama is now the frontrunner, and its time America takes a closer and deeper look at him.
Some pundits are calling him the next John F. Kennedy. He's not. He's the next George McGovern. And it's time people learned the facts.
Because the truth is that Mr. Obama is the single most liberal senator in the entire U.S. Senate.
He is more liberal than Ted Kennedy, Bernie Sanders, or Mrs. Clinton. Never in my life have I seen a presidential frontrunner whose rhetoric is so far removed from his record. Walter Mondale promised to raise our taxes, and he lost. George McGovern promised military weakness, and he lost. Michael Dukakis promised a liberal domestic agenda, and he lost.
Yet Mr. Obama is promising all those things, and he's not behind in the polls. Why? Because the press has dealt with him as if he were in a beauty pageant.. Mr. Obama talks about getting past party, getting past red and blue, to lead the United States of America . But let's look at the more defined strokes of who he is underneath this superficial 'beauty.'
Start with national security, since the president's most important duties are as commander-in-chief. Over the summer, Mr. Obama talked about invading Pakistan, a nation armed with nuclear weapons; meeting without preconditions with Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who vows to destroy Israel and create another Holocaust; and Kim Jong II, who is murdering and starving his people, but emphasized that the nuclear option was off the table against terrorists - something no president has ever taken off the table since we created nuclear weapons in the 1940s.
Even Democrats who have worked in national security condemned all of those remarks. Mr. Obama is a foreign-policy novice who would put our national security at risk.
Next, consider economic policy. For all its faults, our health care system is the strongest in the world. And free trade agreements, created by Bill Clinton as well as President Bush, have made more goods more affordable so that even people of modest means can live a life that no one imagined a generation ago.
Yet Mr. Obama promises to raise taxes on 'the rich.' How to fix Social Security? Raise taxes. How to fix Medicare? Raise taxes. Prescription drugs? Raise taxes. Free college? Raise taxes. Socialize medicine? Raise taxes.
His solution to everything is to have government take it over. Big Brother on steroids, funded by your paycheck.
Finally, look at the social issues. Mr. Obama had the audacity to open a stadium rally by saying, 'All praise and glory to God!' but says that Christian leaders speaking for life and marriage have 'hijacked' - hijacked - Christianity. He is pro-partial birth abortion, and promises to appoint Supreme Court justices who will rule any restriction on it unconstitutional. He espouses the abortion views of Margaret Sanger, one of the early advocates of racial cleansing. His spiritual leaders endorse homosexual marriage, and he is moving in that direction. In Illinois , he refused to vote against a statewide ban - ban - on all handguns in the state. These are radical left, Hollywood , and San Francisco values, not Middle America values.
The real Mr. Obama is an easy target for the general election. Mrs. Clinton is a far tougher opponent. But Mr. Obama could win if people don't start looking behind his veneer and flowery speeches.
His vision of 'bringing America together' means saying that those who disagree with his agenda for America are hijackers or warmongers. Uniting the country means adopting his liberal agenda and abandoning any conflicting beliefs.
But right now everyone is talking about how eloquent of a speaker he is and - yes - they're talking about his race. Those should never be the factors on which we base our choice for president. Mr. Obama's radical agenda sets him far outside the American mainstream, to the left of Mrs. Clinton.
It's time to talk about the real Barack Obama. In an election of firsts, let's first make sure we elect the person who is qualified to be our president in a nuclear age during a global civilizational war.
Kind of scary, wouldn't you think
According to The Book of Revelations the anti-christ is:
The anti-christ will be a man, in his 40s, of MUSLIM descent, who will deceive the nations with persuasive language, and have a MASSIVE Christ-like appeal....the prophecy says that people will flock to him and he will promise false hope and world peace, and when he is in power, will destroy everything. Is it OBAMA??

stewie can so jump on the couch

stewie my little dachshund is the most depend dog in the whole world. if you call him he will sit down and make you come pick him up, he sleeps as close to me as he can get...
we know he can jump on the on the couch but he wont do did if you are in the room he makes you pick him up. we know he can because you leave the room and when you come back he is on the couch. so I'm sitting here recovering from my hang over and not getting in my bed till 7 this morning, watching a movie and the little shit comes running across the room and jumps on the the couch from like 5 foot back. plays with bloomer a little bit. jumps down another thing he wont do if someone is around. and wines by my chair to pick him up. i told him little dog i saw you jump on the couch and I'm not picking your counter fit ass up any more. after a little more whimpering he gives it up and jumps on the chair. now he is all snuggled up to me.

about my come apart...






sorry i forgot all about the actually come apart...i had just fed and was beginning to saddle horses and put them at their stations, while walking across to torch from tying up camo i all of a sudden realize in one wk they will all be gone....and i lost it completely. while im sitting indian style in the middle of the pasture holding a hater, a curry comb and a soft brush balling my eyes out i know that nothing after this will ever be the same....

i as most of you know cant handle being bored. I need and want everything to happen now and faster. I have never been able to hold down a job with little care about it...i get bored and im done with anything and everything. i changed men like underwear until i met blw, for some reason he fits like they ( jen, rob, ash) do. they are solid, unchanging, over analizing, perfectionist, ocd, unorganized, never on time level people that i just blow around like a hurricane wind blow againist the cliffs. the clifs dont move they just stay still till the wind calms down.

there will be no more....jen saddling my horse because im to drunk or her sitting sideways on the alley way watching my run. drinking white russians and watching horse porn. crown shots with ash before we run. sitting for hours stoned watching people pull in to a barrel race. me reading barrel horse news to her because she is driving. rob and i partying late into the nite downtown. having to jump beau off thru the excape door because my current make over horse wont back out. or me waiting on any of them because i know they are always late.

i had a come apart today....

as you all know jen left me, here in tx all alone with no one to talk to at barrel races!!
BUT...thats not the end of my torture....i have two other friends that rank right up there with her well close everyone knows she is no. 1.

Here is the problem(s)

1. Jen moves to sd, like what couple months ago...im ok with that because i still talk to her most days(i will have a total episode if i don't) and we text, blog and email...im ok...and she is all happy and stuff.

i also dont deal with stuff i just ignore it. i have a tendency to do nothing, when i know i should, but i just sit and think about it....kinda like denial

2) Ash is leaving tomorrow to move to ca. we ran at our last rodeo together for who knows how long on friday....but it wasn't like always. Ash is madly in love with justin and they are a perfect match.

3) rob is getting married sat and will be leaving me also to move to germany because her soon to be eli is in the army. she leaves the 22nd. rob lives like 6 miles down the road.

all of these girls run barrels and are my best friends and in a matter of 8 wks they are all going to be gone not here for me to just randomly show up at their house and talk them into something to do....i know we are all still going to be as close, especially jen and rob....but its not the same. why all at the same time. here is what i fear...you always hear while you're growing up, one day you'll get married and move away and you wont have the same friends.

so am i pasted that or did i just get there?

frogs

zach and jen its lily pads and flys for both of you!!!!!!!!!!!!

im done...

im not doing anything nice for people who dont deserve it any more....
no more using peoples services because i think they need the money, no more

and why in the hell are some people so stupid that you must talk to them like they are in kindergarten....they just dont get the point...

i do things with purpose if you find something out its because i wanted you to, and dont be so naive to think that who you heard it from wasnt joining on running you down, grow up

okay heres the story...
i always wanted this horse lets call it london....before, during and after being trained by 'bob the barrel horse trainer'....london works good during its training, but then gets sore and the owners do nothing. london still tries to work and is sent home to the owners, WORKING, the owners cant ride london, so they take the horse to an other trainer, this trainer tells them that london works great and that they must learn to ride london....the owners try various contraptions on london because force always makes up for balance, timing, ability and horsemanship, when it comes to riding, hold on im shitting out some more B.S. they have joints injected that dont need it...londons joints are great...i have xrays from that say so....london also has bad dental problems on top of everything else because her teeth were not taken care of at all....london quits working....not because it hurt, but because there was no bond built on horsemanship, love and time spent being a team. london had no reason to try and no help to become solid....so finally after the horse is put thur all this i get london, fully aware of what london is, where london came from and why london is like london is....i didnt care what london was then, i knew once we got everything fixed and i had time to bond with london, london who come back to the real world....i got london, london was under weight probably from the bad teeth, and a complete nervous wreck...mind you london set back all the time, so that didnt help with being sore, london rarely sets back now, and when it happens, london isnt tied up...while im am spending boxes of cash on london trying to fix the problems that were created by the previous owners, i keep hearing all this bad stuff they are saying about me and how im riding her and that they got screwed on the trade.....frankly the london was worth about 3500 or less at the time of the trade i traded them a mare i had listed for 7500 and a 5yo, my uncle threw a fit saying the 5yo was his...so it ended up being just the mare...which at the time was worth far more than london...the previous owners agreed fully to this....so after getting things fixed london isnt really any better so we decided london needs a vacation...during the last barrel race before the vacation, i hear from one of my very good friends that the previous owner had said well i used to run london in an o-ring...horse shit on that one, maybe with a tie down way to tight and some torture rope run thru the rings...any aids that were used on london with the previous owners where never adjust correctly...again with the force thing, works wonders....and we also were told that the previous owners said i better start doing something with london because london was wearing their brand....i decide after much debate over it not say anything, unless i heard something else, well low and behold im at a barrel race myself and i get not one but two calls about the previous owners running their traps again i wasnt told where or when but what was say was the same thing id been hearing for months...and along comes one of the previous owners friend so i tell her when she ask about london she is worthless and that im fixing to cover the brand up so it will no longer embarrass the previous owners and that is all i said about them...then we talk about how london had been running off at the second barrel...when i first got london london ran up the fence at the second barrel at least i got london where london went around it for the most part, and how everything that was wrong with london was training issues, which by that i meant the rapid bit swaps and severe head armor put on london, maybe i should have said lack of horsemanship and skill on the riders part instead, i was just really pissed off at the time and wasnt thinking as clear as normal....i meant for the friend to go and tell them thats why i said it...london is working great and really honest and wants to work now...not forced but asked and wants to....i love london and dont think it was a bad deal the mare traded will be a good horse for them, she is more forgiving and kinder, and london fits me, high matience and gorgeous, and worthless by this of course i mean london doesnt have worth because london isnt for sale...even on the bad days, i still rub and pet on london

so it wasnt me who ran my mouth, i am far above that...i merely ended a false friendship, differently than most would have....i have friends great friends and dont need friendships base on lies

i just wish things would have worked out better and both parties could have been proud of the new owners strides with their new horses, but no to try and make themselves feel better one party had ruin what could have been a good association...it was turned to mocking and bad mouthing....

people worth talking bad about...

heres the thing if you're going to bad mouth someone

1 it needs to be someone who people know or its just complaining...
2 you have to say it to people who dont like the person or dont know them, the latter making it complaining again...
3 you should full be ready to reap what you sow...(its a small world, so make sure who you bad mouth isnt a giant)

it always turns out bad, hence the reason why i dont talk about people

(i will add to this when it all settles in my head)
