President Trumps speech, and a lack of respect....

Last night we sat proudly and watch our President give his first speech to a joint session of congress...  I found it inspiring, I felt like the adults were back in charge and was so proud of him. And I loved his new tie..  : )

What I found to be a pathetic show was of course the democrats: Nancy Pelosi, Wasserman-Shultz and all the others like them, dressed in white, and sitting on their hands, stone faced, and being completely disgusted by the fact that they had to sit there and listen to President Trump speak...  And what the heck was up with the white suits? I heard it was something about the suffragettes and woman's equality...who said women weren't given equal rights???? 

A very emotional moment came when:

 President Trump honored a fallen hero, Navy Seal Senior Chief Ryan Owens..  He also  honored his widow Carryn Owens, he reassured her that her husband did not die in vain, that the mission he was on had been highly successful, and he thanked her many times over. She received a standing ovation and a thunderous applause that went on for several minutes, as expected she was overwhelmed with emotion..my heart went out to her, I can't imagine the pain she must be going through. But then the worst of the worst came... a  public act of disrespect like none I have ever seen before from our elected leaders while some democrats stood to honor her, there were those pathetic people who didn't. These people are shameless and should not call themselves representatives of this country.  I understand it was their right to sit and behave like a 2 year old. But, when a military hero is being honored I expect them to be respected. I expect petty differences to be put aside.  You may not like President Trump, heck I never liked Obama, but when he honored our military I showed respect, these pathetic democrats should do the same.
Our military are not politicians, they volunteer and put their life on the line every day for this great country. I hope the constitutants of those that sat were watching and will hold them accountable next time there is a vote.
Oh and for those people who said Ivanka should have hugged her or something...I did see her comfort this poor lady, I saw several times that she whispered to her, and put a gentle hand on her... 

Then there was more disrespect when Trump was talking about murders caused by illegals... A father in attendance-his son murdered by an illegal who has been deported twice but kept coming back.... The GOP applauded Trumps new ideas but the Democrats sat...so I guess its okay for American citizens to be murdered by illegals. I loved how the President  looked at that side of the room and asked all the law makers in attendance what would they do if that was their child?

Then there was this guy:

 Who I felt bared a striking resemblance to this guy:

You remember him right ? The bad evil old man ghost from Poltergeist 2 ( the other side)...   

Well the first guy is the former governor of Kentucky Steve Beshear and given his likeness to the second guy I kept expecting to hear " Your all gonna die"!!!!!!!!

...This is the best the democrats could come up with for a rebuttal? The 72 year old ex democrat governor who was ousted by a republican, from the same state that Trump won overwhelmingly?  How Weak!
  He sat there in a diner with a bunch of old cronies around him, looking all pissed off like they forget their daily dose of stool softeners.  He is an EX for a reason, which I am sure has a lot to do with the way the coal industry has been done by the former administration and the EPA.

As for President Trumps speech, he really hit it out of the park. He was on point, did not meander off topic, and looked distinguished and quite Presidential.

smack my head!

I don't know whether to laugh or cry.....

Pelosi's war on women

so let me get this straight: Early this week Pelosi said a reporter questioning her ability to serve as minority leader is sexist.

BUT......  This same week when a fellow democrat ; Tammy Duckworth asked if because of her current medical condition of being 8 months pregnant and in a wheel chair if she could vote by proxy due to her doctor not wanting her to travel because of the late nature of her pregnancy.  All the vote is for, is to elect caucus leadership.
This request was denied by Pelosi

If you are unfamiliar with Tammy Duckworth, she is also an Iraqi war veteran and lost both her legs while serving. I may not agree with her politics, but she deserves more then that from the party she represents..  If I were her, I would change affiliation.

oh, BTW this is the same democrat party  who  pressed  for the passage of legislation to protect pregnant women in the workplace. In that legislation and I quote:

"The new guidelines from the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission make clear that any form of workplace discrimination or harassment against pregnant workers by employers is a form of sex discrimination and illegal."

Pelosi is arguing that voting by proxy for caucus leadership is against the rules, and not allowed, and if they do it for one person then everyone will want to do it. But, several aids in anonymity have come out and said...that may be so, but  the caucus is allowing three members whose Election Day races have not yet been called to be allowed to vote, as if they've won reelection already. But, here you have a woman, a decorated war veteran who is undergoing a high-risk pregnancy, and they can't suspend the rules," said one of the aides.

so can someone please tell me who exactly has the war on women?

Really ?

For those who may be unable to comprehend the point of this posting, note that this is not a claim made by someone against Obama but a ridiculous claim made in support of his signature legislation by one of his own sycophant sheep.

Syco-phant (noun)-  A servile self-seeker who attempts to win favor by flattering influential people.
Synonyms- flunky, lackey, brown-noser, stooge, suck-up, Butt-Licker etc......

Despite Popular Belief...

The sky DID NOT fall this morning. ( as predicted by the Liberals )

The sun still rose.
The kids still got up for school.
I still stumbled my way to the kitchen to start coffee and let the dogs out.
The puppy is still chasing the cat around the house, and barking at every leaf that falls from a tree.
Traffic was still out on the roads.
People were still going to work.
The tire store opened sharply at 0800 and actually waited on me.
Senior is out mowing grass
And, there is still a baseball game scheduled for tonight.. 
Heck! We might even order some concession stand food to celebrate!

And the one thing that was predicted has actually happend:  The obamacare website has crashed.

Its a wonderful feeling knowing that it is the working class people of this country that keeps America running and not politicians.

. Amazing isn't it?

PS: I will add one more thing : I am happy that the Republicans have seemingly stood their ground and not caved in. (yet)

Obamacare-ASaurus

 You never really see the  horrible effects of something until you can talk to those folks who deal with it all every day.

This morning, I had a doctor’s appointment to discuss some of my meds.
Last Wednesday was my yearly “lady appointment” I explained to my doctor what my wishes were.
She told me I would need to make a separate appointment to discuss the matter. I kind of left out of there scratching my head as this had never been said to me before. But, I listened and did what she asked.

Which led me to this morning, I was talking to her nurse, who was asking me all the same questions they did last week. I asked "Why was I having to come back just for this"?

In a short and unhappy way she said “ObamaCare” and shook her head.

The mere mention of that dreaded money eating, democrat dinosaur monster, burden on the American people brought shivers to me.

She went on to explain “See ,we can no longer see a patient for more then two problems at a time, Insurances won’t allow it anymore, and then there is the whole new coding issue, if we code something wrong then it won’t get paid, and a bill is sent directly to the patient. Then the patient calls us irate”.

I just stared at her and listened further “Mrs. X  it is a huge mess, we even had to adopt new software to handle all the new codes for this monstrosity, therefore last week, since you were here for your yearly physical and lady exam, we could not address any other issues you were having, those were your two health issues, anything else needed a separate appointment”. 

She elaborated more, “This whole issue is costing more to the patient then what the American people were told, We had to buy new software- that cost was past off to the patient, now people are having to come back repeatedly to have health issues addressed, and having to pay more out of pocket co-pays, And some of those co-pays are upwards of $25-40.00. It also burdens the patient in making them come back again and again..   A lot of people are going to start suffering in more ways then one”  

“Wow” I said. “ You hear about the negative effects of it all the time, but it doesn’t hit home until you can see and hear about it first hand from a health care provider” I said.

She agreed then left the room so the doctor could come in.

I got placed on a new medication, and drove home thinking of the conversation with the nurse. For some reason a line from the movie “Jurassic Park” came to mind. It is one I like to refer to in times like these:

“Some of the worst things imaginable, have been done with the best of intentions”

-Dr. Alan Grant, Jurassic Park

Democrats thought Obamacare was the answer and would solve this countries health care problems. Only it is a complete failure and costing us more and more every day. Plus full implementation keeps getting pushed back . if it was so great, then why keep delaying it all?
It is much like a man eating dinosaur, in that it is eating its way through the health care industry, and this economy.  The same people who are going to suffer the worst, are however the ones who voted for it, they are the ones who think Universal health care was a right.- They wanted it...now live with it.

A View From A Democratic Voter

 

 

 

ELECTION DAY

Its finally here, The 2012 Presidential Election Day. Where has the last four years gone? Senior and I did our duty and voted. We live in s quasi-small town. No lines, and No black panthers to intimidate
voters. It all went smoothly.

Today is the day we decide what kind of country we are going to give our kids and grandkids. This is the most important election of our lifetime -- and every vote counts!!!!  And if you don't get out and vote, then you have no right to complain. Its hard to think of it now, but when we wake up tomorrow our country will have gone one of two ways..We will either be celebrating a new President elect who has created jobs, and does know how to turn things around, and one that truly loves The United States or we will be crying in our coffee over another four more years of the Obama regime, the same poor economy, millions upon millions on welfare that we the hard working people are paying for, and a man that does not love The United States.

It is all up to Us..."We the People" we have a fundamental decision to make...which road do you want to take?  What kind of morning do you want tomorrow?

let me leave you with these words of wisdom from me JUGM :

"when it comes to pinning blame, pin the tail on the donkeys".

The Fence Test

Occasionally my Dad will email me something that I think is worthwhile enough to share with you good folks that read my blog . This is one of them. This is by Jeff Foxworthy and he is a comedian, But with todays political landscape it rings true. Read it yourself and find out which fence you sit on.

If a Republican doesn't like guns, he doesn't buy one.
If a Democrat doesn't like guns, he wants all guns outlawed.

If a Republican is a vegetarian, he doesn't eat meat.
If a Democrat is a vegetarian, he wants all meat products banned for everyone.

If a Republican is homosexual, he quietly leads his life.
If a Democrat is homosexual, he demands legislated respect.

If a Republican is down-and-out, he thinks about how to better his situation.
A Democrat wonders who is going to take care of him.

If a Republican doesn't like a talk show host, he switches channels.
Democrats demand that those they don't like be shut down.

If a Republican is a non-believer, he doesn't go to church.
A Democrat non-believer wants any mention of God and religion silenced.

If a Republican decides he needs health care, he goes about shopping for it, or may choose a job that provides it.
A Democrat demands that the rest of us pay for his.
