It's all political crap, questions remain, this is only meant to make people think. It's why I read them, I'm just sharing, that's all. No more, no less. I could share with you the LOVELY phone call I got on Wednesday night trying to sway my political opinion--but here's the thing, the guy was such a douche and made such sweeping statements that I was generally insulted. Add to it that after he said he didn't get his news from corporate shills (Ha!) I figured out who he was working for...a major corporate PAC. Doesn't anyone realize that nowadays I have all sorts of info at my fingertips? Hell, with voice recognition I don't even need to type!! On to some links:
Sexism? Maybe. Skewed stats? Far more likely.
Racism is always one of my favorite topics. I'm always amused at the Costanza tactics of the Looney Left (yes, a direct cousin of the Religious Right):
Oh, Costanza tactics? "It's not a lie if you don't believe it's a lie"..
Joe Biden says that black people will be put back in shackles, it's Romney's fault? Never ever estimate the media's inability to process logic.
Oops, I guess MSNBC was trying to get that message out while not showing 1 minority speaking at the RNC. Yes, there were speakers who didn't look white, I swear I saw them on PBS!
Much like sexism, which is worse--being given no opportunity or given a chance due to guilt? Being patronized, in my opinion. I am of the belief that if you work hard, you get chances--I have to or else I'll quit trying anything in my life. Remember the old tale of teaching a man to fish? Just sayin'.
Curious, when was a college education a guaranteed right?
Even Morgan Freeman (that man owes James Earl Jones' some money for cool voice royalties) says Barack Obama isn't America's 1st black president. Kinda tough when Moms is white, isn't it?
Finally, on the subject of race, and my mentioning of Costanza tactics-please remember that WAY back in the day that Lincoln freed the slaves. This may be an eye opener for some, but it is worth noting. You don't have to read the rhetoric, but I implore anyone to read the book quotes.
I admit, I watched both the RNC and DNC. There were statements that shocked me, there were things that made me laugh, and things that made my blood boil. Look, my belief system has not moved all that much since I was a kid. Yes, somethings have changed due to reading, reasoning and finding out after age 22 what really matters. I discussed my thoughts on gay marriage in a previous blog posting, and I stand by those thoughts. You don't have to agree with me, and I admit it's not what I'll be choosing my leaders based on. I do have a question--ever since Obama's 'evolution' on the subject, why hasn't he presented any legislature?
Based on this, I have questions. When Obama talked about saving Detroit, what the fuck was he talking about? Has anyone seen Detroit? The crime rate? The people running away from that place? As for the 'Bin Laden is Dead, GM is alive', my word people are economically stupid. Do a minor financial analysis of what the GM stocks are really worth, then talk to me. The aren't worth half of what they're listed for.
As for the abortion issue, I have a question-did Roe v. Wade get turned over? Nope. Do I think it will? Nope. So why does Moveon.org go back to the coat hanger crap? You want to have a civil conversation with me on abortion? Let's have at it. I'm going to come across at times like a crotchety old man. I'm going to ask you ladies the same thing you'd ask your daughter, if you have one. Again, this is why I say that we as a nation need to take away the 10% of the wackjobs on either side of the political landscape and let us 80% figure this crap out.
Now, teachers unions....there's a county out here in Colorado that told them to get bent. Guess which county tests well? Coincidence? I have no idea. I'm just throwing this out there, especially in light of the crap that the fine folks in Chicago are 'caring for the children'. Not like this stuff could have been worked on over the summer, right Chitown?
Obama mentioned that if you have a job you have dignity. Joe Biden said he was the son of a car guy. Let me talk for real to both. President, I've not had a job, and felt like I lost my dignity and had some serious issues with self-respect. You were halfway correct. I have a job now. But dignity? Hardly. I'm grossly underpaid and am treading water in my bank account. Last month I socked away a whopping $2.64 in savings. That ain't Livin La Vida Loca, pal. Biden, you and I are going toe to toe. I'm the son of a car guy. My old man left many a times for work. For weeks. For months. But I assure you, in my life, the man sold high end cars and only went domestic once. If you make a quality product the sell is easy. This goes back to the GM comment. We as taxpayers lose money every time a crappy Chevy Volt rolls off the assembly line. Oh, and guess who's buying them? The US government. How convenient.
Last political thing, I swear. This Sandra Fluke broad. Yes, I said broad. I know the difference. This female is 30 and thinks I need to help pay for her birth control? Honey, if I ain't fuckin' you, then I'm not paying for you. Then there's this. $$6,000????? Where does this figure come from? 6 Grand?!!! Okay, it's time for a math lesson. I went on drugstore.com to find contraceptives. A 36 count of rubbers costs $20. $6000/$20= 300 boxes. 300 boxes of 36 ct. condoms= 10,800 rubbers. There's 365 days in a year. That roughly means, by my math, that she's having sex 29 times a day. No one does this. No one. No one can. Ladies, even if you were dating the Energizer God Damn Bunny we're talking what, 6 times in a day? I have no idea, I'm 36. I have no desire for that kind of chafing.
So look whore Fluke-either you tell me where the number comes from or maybe, just maybe, start being more selective in your partners. Christ, blow one of them every once in awhile. There's no way the math works. Your whole life would be on your back. Your vagina would look like carport. It's not plausible. Here's where I come across like a crotchety old man--close your damn legs. I'm all for having a good time, really I am. But I swear if some woman I am dating let it slip that they've had some 100+ partners, it would bring pause. It would for anyone. You may think I'm being weird and judgemental, and you'd be correct. It's why I don't like the conversation of how many partners someone has had. Just let's all nod in agreement, there's a number in everyone's head that makes you get a bit skeeved out.
Finally something on sports. If Roger Goodell cares so much for player safety, why is any team playing 4 games in 17 days? This needs to stop, this whole scheduling of games all the time. The NFL is starting to screw around with people's lives. Look, I'm single and even I think that 3 nights/week is a bit much. And I love football.
Happy football watching, don't shoot the messenger, think for yourself and call your Mom, she misses you!
