You know Bill Cosby wrote an article awhile back and got to say it kind of is the way I have been thinking.  Take a look.

I  HAVE DECIDED TO BECOME A WRITE-IN CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT IN THE YEAR 2012..
HERE IS MY PLATFORM:

(1). Any use of the phrase:
‘Press 1 for English’ is immediately banned.
English is the official language;  speak it or wait outside of our borders until you can.

(2). We will immediately go into a two year isolationist attitude in order to straighten out the greedy big business posture in this country. The USA and Canada will allow NO imports,  and we’ll do no exports.     We will use the ‘Wal-Mart ‘s policy,  ‘If  we ain’t got it, you don’t need it.’  We’ll make it here and sell it here!

(3). When imports are allowed, there will be a 100% import tax on it coming in here.

(4). All retired military personnel will be required
to man one of the many observation towers located on the southern border of the United States and the border of Canada
(six month tour).
They will be under strict orders not to fire on  south bound  aliens.

(5). Social Security will immediately return to its original state. If you didn’t put nuttin in, you ain’t gettin nuttin out. Neither the President nor any other politician will be able to touch it.

(6). Welfare.– Checks will be handed out on Fridays, at the end of the 40 hour school week, the successful completion of a urinalysis test for drugs, and passing grades.

(7). Professional Athletes — Steroids?  The FIRST time you check positive you’re banned from sports … for life.

(8). Crime — We will adopt the Turkish method,  i.e.,  the  first time you steal,  you lose your right hand. There is no more ‘life sentences’. If convicted of murder, you will be put to death by the same method you chose for the victim you killed: gun, knife, strangulation,  etc.

(9). One export of ours will be allowed: wheat; because the world needs to eat. However, a bushel of wheat will be the exact price of a barrel of oil.

(10). All foreign aid, using American or Canadian taxpayer money, will immediately cease and the saved money will help to pay off the national debt and, ultimately, lower taxes. When disasters occur around the world, we’ll ask The American People if they want to donate to a disaster fund, and each citizen can make the decision as to whether, or not, it’s a worthy cause.

(11). The Pledge of Allegiance  will be said  every  day at  school and  every  day  in  the US Congress.

(12). The National Anthem  will  be played at all appropriate ceremonies,  sporting events,  outings, etc.

My apology is offered if I’ve stepped on anyone’s toes …. nevertheless….

GOD BLESS AMERICA AND CANADA!

Sincerely,  Bill Cosby

Well it’s about time we went out and bought something that is worth while.  The 65 new Fighter Jets are just  a small part of what should be replace.  In most countries we have been the laughing stock of the world.   Think about this.  22 Billion dollars blown by the Liberals starting the war in Afghanistan  to begin with.
It’s also ok for the Liberals to  spend another 22 billion a year on harmless green house items and tax, tax, tax, to make our Powers That Be, wealthy.
The Liberals say, “don’t buy any jets, its better to complain about the torturing of the Taliban and leave the Canadian soldiers for dead using in antiquated equipment.”  Some equipment so old that they are literally falling apart.
Kind of wonder what the Liberals will complain about next. Bottom line is……. they love attacking the Conservatives, they are famous for that. They also spend billions of dollars on anything and everything that will get them elected and not what is good for the country.    I believe that we should protect and enhance the earth, to preserve it for future generations.  To do so we must not rely on other countries to do it for us, as we have been doing now for the past thirty years or so.  Some say that praying and letting things work itself out will look after things.  I say that is a bunch of, well you know what.   It’s like the old farmer out in the garden.  Fellow came by and said.  ” My friend I see the Lord has given you a beutiful garden there this year.”  The old farmer scratched his face and said.  “Don’t know about that.  But you should have seen what it looked like when he was doing it on his own before I got here.”  In other words we are the ones that gets things done, not no Higher Power.  Sitting on our rumps doesn’t get things done, doesn’t save lives doesn’t make this earth a better place to live on.  Live today as it’s your last and in doing so your world will become a better place.  My Opinion Only as usual.

SO ‘Pathetically’ TRUE………………

We’re “broke” & can’t help our own Seniors,
Veterans, Orphans, Homeless etc.,?????????

In the last months we have provided aid to
Haiti , Chile , and Turkey .

Our retired seniors living on a ‘fixed income’
receive no aid nor do they get any breaks
while our government and religious
organizations pour Hundreds of Millions of
$$$$$’s and Tons of Food to Foreign Countries!

We have hundreds of adoptable children
who are shoved aside to make room for
the adoption of foreign orphans.

CANADA: a country where we have
homeless without shelter,  children going
to bed hungry, elderly going without
‘needed’ meds, and mentally ill without
treatment -etc,etc.
YET……………….
They have a ‘Benefit’ for the people of Haiti
on 12 TV stations, ships and planes lining
up with food, water, tents clothes, bedding,,
doctors and medical supplies.

Imagine if the *GOVERNMENT*  gave ‘US’
the same support they give to other
countries.

Sad isn’t it?

Actual house sales activity was down 19.7% in June 2010 from a year ago, but the price of a home has rose just 4.9% from a year ago. Now if a feller or gal gets to lookin’ at these figures it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out the problem here.  First off the new HST didn’t help any, but the main reason is that homes today are selling for way to much money and folks have reached their limits of how much they can put towards a home.  Simple as that.  One other thing that has caught my attention is that the homes of today are twice the size as one needs.  Today though one doesn’t think ahead, they go for looks, keeping up with the Jone’s and things like that.  Big homes that could hold around fifteen people with only two to four living in them.  The upkeep alone would put  a feller or gal in the poor house.  My Opinion Only
