Here is my thought for today.
Time to give the United Nation the boot out of the USA. It is just not fair and discriminates against the rest of the world. Here is why.
With the United Nations in the USA and specifically in New York City, the delegates lose perspective. They are living in a relatively safe, comfortable environment. There is no real stress on their lives. And, in most cases, they are living in far better situations than their home country.
I am not saying the UN needs to move around like a gypsy caravan. But if they stay in any place longer then say 10 years, those morons become super morons.
If the UN was located in a place were there is a real threat to life and limb, I think these so called "Representatives of the People" may be a little more inclined to make that part of the world a better place.
For the love of God, people are getting beheaded by ISIS over in the Arab country's. What is the UN doing about it? I would tell you if I knew, but it seems like nothing. They are just hang around The Russian Tea Room saying:
Delegate #1 "Oh my, these beheadings are really a terrible thing"
Delegate #2 "I could not agree more. Please pass the chips"
D1 "Certainly. So someone should make a stand and put ISIS in their place"
D2 "Yes, you are right. If you catch the waiters eye, please wave him over. We need more wine"
D1 "I see him. Excuse me. My friend and I would both like another bottle of your finest red wine. And please bring fresh glasses"
D2 "Excellent idea! And do not worry about ISIS, I am sure that the USA or Jordan will take some type of action"
Now if these two tinkle berry's were eating roasted rat, drinking putrid water and using their left hand to wipe there rear ends after a bathroom run, they my be a little more incline to make things happen which will improve their life's and the life's of everyone else.
Thanks for reading.

Get Ready! This Will Not End Well
So, it happened again. The Liberal "Spin" machine was put into action and Obama was re-elected president. Just proves that people are:
1. Lazy. (Both those who take AND those that give willingly and/or reluctantly)
2. Stupid/Gullible.
3. Ignorant.
Let me explain.
Lazy: There are a whole mess of people out there who have their hand out (Takers). And we the people keep putting money in their hands. I doubt a that the Taker folks actually voted. I would bet good money that unless the polling site is within the same proximity (eye sight) of the Social Services office or the like, they do not know where the place is. I doubt they are looking around on the way to get their Booze/Food/Drugs. Besides, they do not have to do a thing! Just stand there with their hand out. Lazy.
Then there is another group of people who feel that to some extend or another an individual should help out those less fortunate These are the Givers. They do not want to be criticized or accused of being heartless. So they go with the flow. Besides "... what difference does it make?? " Lazy.
Stupid/Gullible: Stupid is more of those newer voters who really do not know which end is up because mom and dad pay for everything Hell, they always got a "trophy" for participating even if they came in last place. They think everyone should be entitled. The gullible ones are those who "... we really should give Obama some more time. It took more then 4 years to get into this mess that the republicans made ..." Give me a break. You asses! remember Bill Clinton, you know... the guy who started banking deregulating. The founder of no income verification mortgages because "...every one should be able to buy a home..." I can only wonder how many participation trophies he has. Anyway, you are stupid and gullible if you really did not think you had to pay back that money you borrowed for you house / car / boat / whatever.
Ignorant: This is self explanatory if you listen to any of the Howard Stern "man on the street" interviews. Even so, anyone who said "why do the rich pay less tax then me! Why does Romney pay 14% tax rate and I pay 20%?" Bad news here folks. You pay less then Mitt Romney. And Warren Buffett does pay more tax than his secretary Lets go back to your youth.... Good old school and basic math. Lets say (in simple terms) your taxable income is $50,000 and your tax rate is 20%. So your tax is $10,000. Ouch! Now lets say Romney's taxable income is $10,000,000 ( I know I am light. Just trying to keep the math easy) and his tax rate is 14%. So his tax is $1,400,000! Double ouch! This is 130 times more then you pay. Is that fair? Does he get 130 times more benefit from the government then you? Are 130 more solders going to fight for him than will fight for you? Will he get 130 time the doctors then you? Should I go on?
So why will this not end well? Because at some point the people who are paying are going to say SCREW THIS and fight back. And when I say fight I mean fight... blood and guts and veins in the teeth kinda fighting! Most of these people believe in owning firearms and self defense. The other crowd, believe that the government should protect them. Here is some breaking news. Most of the people in the government who do the actual protecting, are members of the own firearms and self defense group. As we all no, self preservation wins out over all else. So no matter what, in the end, the Lazy - Stupid/Gullible - Ignorant people do not have much of a chance.

Get Off Barack Obama's Ass
My thought for today is.... everyone should get off Barack Obama's ass. I did not vote for him..... I do not like him as President. But whose fault is it that he is President? You and I know that it is our fault. The Democrats put this post turtle up and the Republicans put up the other two numb nuts. So let's face it.... Not much of a choice. Here lies the problem "Lousy Candidates". And this is understandable. Anyone with half a brain who does not have an ego the size of Texas is not going to run and be abused. Not much we can do about that. But here are some possible solutions.
1. Only citizens who are 18+ years of age and of sound mental capacity AND PAY TAXES can vote. If you only pay local taxes, you can only vote in local elections. You pay only state taxes, you can only vote in state elections. To vote for congress and the President you must pay federal taxes. If this was the case, I think that all those collage kids who voted for "change" would have been SOL.
2. All citizens who meet #1 MUST VOTE or pay a monetary fine. Nothing outrageous but it should be meaningful.... say $300.00. I think most people will find that they are willing to save $300.00 by spending an hour or less to vote. OK stop your whining. Voting is not that hard, especially with absentee ballots. Step up and be part of the solution. Of course there should be valid exclusions such as medical/sickness/injury. But not missing a train or stuck in traffic. Plan your life better or come up $300.
3. Have a "None of the Above" option on the ballot. If the "None of the Above" option takes more votes than those running...Oh boy! Start all over... right from the beginning with primaries. Do not pass go and do not collect $200! So you say who will be President while a new election is run and held. Very simple NO ONE. Let the House and Senate muck it up without the president hanging there as lightning rod for criticism. If this happens a few times, no one will be happy and maybe the parties will stop throwing crap up against the wall hoping something sticks. Additionally, you and I will give some serious consideration to who is running and stop voting for the "lesser of two evils".
Thanks for reading and keep your powder dry!

I Prefer Being the Hammer
As I was cutting the lawn the other day, I was thinking about some issues that are going on in my life. One has to do with my son and some of the things he has been dealing with. Lets be clear before I go any further. I love my kids. Would do anything for them. Period.
So, thinking about him I feel he is just not understanding how life works and were he fits in. Here is how I see it. You are either the Hammer or the Nail. This is not the same as being good or bad. When you compare these the relationship of the hammer and the nail too the world, there are a lot of similarities.
1. There are always more nails then hammers. So in life, there are always more of those who follow the those who lead.
2. Nails are important as are hammers. Each really cannot do much could without the other. Same for followers and leaders.
3. Good hammers and nails are valued to varying degrees. Bad hammers and nails are always discarded and left to rust away. Good people are valued to varying degrees. Bad people are shunned and avoided.
Here is were things start getting a little more one sided.
4. One is always looking for a particular hammer to do a particular job. And although one looks for nails, there are a usually whole bunch to choose from. Same in life. Certain leaders are needed for certain jobs. There is never a lack of followers / workers.
5. You will reuse a hammer over and over again. Once you use a nail, you really do not give it much thought. In life, people who are leaders will be involved in multiple projects and goings on. The followers for the most part do their one thing and do not experiment.
6. The hammer is the one that is hitting the nail. Leaders are usually on top giving the orders. When the job is done they move on. The followers are the ones doing the hard work that remains.
7. When I hammer is broken, it is usually repaired though not always. Sometimes it is thrown away or just left sitting somewhere. Not so much for the nail. If it breaks, it is dispensable and easily discarded.
8. If a nail is being stubborn, the hammer will keep hitting the nail. Sometime a BIGGER hammer is brought in (see 4#). The nail will usually yield to the hammer's will at some point or it bends/breaks. If it bends/breaks #7 will then apply. Leaders do not give up easily. If the follower does not follow he is left behind.
9. People take care of their hammers and deem them important. Nails on the other hand are easy to come by. People want to be with leaders and leaders get the most out of life. Followers are generally walked all over and sit on the side as life passes them by.
To sum it all up, one needs to choose to be the hammer or the nail. I Prefer Being the Hammer.
