FREE Ride or Ride FREE?

We can all recall many childhood instances when a momentous life changing goal had been reached. Like, when we learned to walk, catch a ball, or tie our own shoes. But perhaps nothing was as quintessentially Americana like the day when training wheels were taken off our bikes. With constraints removed, we were free to ride faster and ride farther. Free to do things on just two wheels we once sat on the steps and watched bigger kids do. Before that moment we could only dream about doing those things by ourselves. That moment marked our liberation from limitations. Later in life, as parents we too put the training wheels on our kids bikes, albeit temporarily. Like our parents, we were confident and nervous, but we knew that in no time at all, our kids, like the many generations who rode before them, would find their own balance. They would conquer their fear and weaknesses and apex another seemingly insurmountable challenge.

It was these experiences and more which taught us we didn’t need a crutch to succeed. No one to hold the bike steady anymore, no one to watch every little wobble we made. It was up to us when we inevitably fell. With little fanfare we simply picked up our bikes, brushed off, got right back on and rode away. Losing the training wheels became our symbolic transfer from depending on others to doing things for ourselves. If we rode irresponsibly, it hurt and we paid the price for our own stupidity and poor judgment. Transversely, when we were cautious and cognizant of our surroundings, dangers and pitfalls, we were rewarded and enjoyed the ride.

Even as most of us have taken our own destiny under our wings, accepted responsibility for our actions and earn our own way to make a life, no matter how humble, many others need taxpayers and the government to ride their bikes. Taxpayers, forced by the hand of liberal policies of the government over the years have created an entitlement subculture. Millions of people on the welfare roles have chosen to have the taxpayers support them and their poor life choices, feed their children, pay for their healthcare, housing and even cars. The very premise of such a guiltless, irresponsible and inherently lazy mentality is contrary to the ideals which make America the greatest democracy since the history of civilization. America came to be with the understanding that nothing is free. Generations before us have paid with their blood, sweat, tears and lives. Such a sacrifice renders those who opt to take from those who work for their money and pay their own way, vacuous leeches. But, it is not all their fault.

By not putting strict standards and expectations on those who are in need of temporary help, the government has enabled those who must now rely on taxpayers to pay for every aspect of their lives. Sadly, what was likely a temporary setback from someone falling off their bike the government arbitrarily decided they can only ride with training wheels now becomes permanent. They quickly learn that as long as they have training wheels, they need not rely on themselves as there is no reward better than having to not sacrifice and still being able to ride the bike. Without any incentive to drive people towards personal achievement and to assume responsibility for their own actions and lives, taxpayers will support these free riders from cradle to grave. This mentality and the governments complicity in creating it, oppresses a large segment of our society. It also robs us.

We are robbed of those who could have been inventors or Doctors. It takes away the person who perhaps chose a life filled with selfless acts and by simply listening could have stopped a mother from aborting her baby. A minister who could work in his community and rally the people to take on a cause bigger than themselves. Fact is the government and liberalism’s infatuation with victimization of certain cultures, callous and malicious belief that others cannot do for themselves and condescension towards individual liberty robs us all. Until the government decides to take the training wheels off, remove their hands from the back of the bike and let the American people ride, they will never experience real freedom.

America cannot afford to have a government thinking it can do better than we can. We can’t afford to support more and more people who are increasingly refusing to support themselves. And we cannot rob people of their individual dignity by letting them continue to believe they cannot succeed. It’s time the government turns around and goes back in the house and let us ride our bikes once and for all. We have all fallen before and even though it may have hurt, we’re still riding. That’s what makes America great; A free people without constraints. An America where people ride free, not “Free Ride.”

Biped Bo's Clown Car Act, It's a Winner?

With all the hoopla regarding Biped Bo’s new fuel efficiency standards, I for one think there is some positive to glean from it. In fact, if we step back, way back and look at it harder, we’ll see our concerns are unwarranted. Apart from the obvious, job losses, less vehicle for more money, circuses having to re-do their clown acts because the 25 clowns out of a small car won’t be as funny, there’s some certain benefits.

Like, the old days of flying from state to state and renting a car to get to business meetings will be long gone. Thanks to Biped Bo and his blind sheep, we’ll be able to check our cars in as a carry-on. No worries about the fuel or oil. The 8 oz. bottles will be sufficient to carry enough corn oil and pig fat to operate the car for the first 100 miles down hill and 17 uphill, with a push. There should be very little traffic on the main arteries so no jams to worry about.

Major roads will be reserved for Biped Bo and other Liberal Elitist to use. Our “skitter scatter’s” will fit finely on bike paths and make seeing the country side that much more enjoyable. Imagine sputtering along on your way to work on an early spring morning and seeing all the flowers and nature as you pass by the Mansions of Al Gore and his ilk. Slowing down to smell the roses will save lives as stress will a bygone malady.

There’ll be no smelling those icky exhaust fumes while being stuck in traffic or tunnels either. With most cars running on things like grease and bio diesel, the aroma’s of French fries, pop corn and the occasional fart as some cars will run on waste matter, will surround us. With a constant sensory overload, we’ll be less inclined to eat as well. We’ll be nauseated by the thought of food. This will benefit not just us, but our world brother’s as well.

We’ll be able to send more of our food for free to Africa and Asia as we fat, lazy inconsiderate American’s will drop the pounds and won’t be revered anymore by the UN as gluttons or selfish. Obesity will become a mental disease and fat people will be secured in state run facilities. As a result, women will spend more time at the public beaches because those fatty’s in thongs will be safely locked away from the more perfect populous. Babes on the beach, only men with hot bod’s, it’s a veritable Eden thanks to Biped Bo.

There are so many benefits; we would be remiss to not prance gleefully through prairies of wildflowers. We should worship Biped Bo for he has granted this opportunity to us. Smaller cars, means less fatty’s in thongs, drop and go auto’s and less stress. We need to see the big picture for as we transition from a capitalist, rule of law Republic into a European 3rd world, second rate socialist collective, we won’t care the size of car we drive. All we’ll care about is how stupid, weak minded, sellouts we were when we realize that we had an opportunity to fight back but didn’t. So, let’s all either take our Hugo’s or whatever and be good little citizens or stand up, scream and take back our damn country. How many Liberals can we shove in one of Biped Bo’s little socialist cars and will Harry, Nancy or Biped Bo drive? Let’s find out, I’ll buy the gas, here’s a nickel. That should get them to Canada and away from the UNITES STATES of AMERICA!

You Might be a Liberal, If (Foxworthy Style)

Stand back and take long hard look. Is this you? Because you might just be a Liberal;

If, the only way you have enough strength to pick up a 12 oz. dart and throw it, is if there’s a picture of Bush or Cheney on the dart board. Otherwise, you’ll just cross your legs, sip on your wine and watch all the 100 pound burly men throw darts without you.

If you find yourself in the hospital emergency room having a plastic water bottle removed from an unpleasant orifice after your read “1001 ways to re-use water bottles” and you thought you found 1002.

If you carry a picture of Al Gore in your wallet; need I say more?

If, you cry inconsolably, after purchasing a new “Smart” car and as you push it into your pine needle driveway you see your neighbor’s new car is from Europe and smaller.

If you cut down and clear all the trees to build a new “Green” Home. Then, you have the city pay for the removal of all the native vegetation and wild animals within 10 miles so your organic garden won’t be threatened.

If you don’t understand the hoopla surrounding the marriage debate and just wish everyone else would, except the fact that a marriage should be between a man, woman, woman, man, boy, animal and a galactic star.

If you think everyone who drives a truck or SUV and has a gun is a redneck and should be banned from breeding. But when your new “green” house plumbing freezes and burst, you call a plumber who drives a truck and carries a gun.

If you think people who eat meat are carnivorous beasts that don’t respect nature or man’s role on earth and will fight to the death that we evolved from cavemen. Which incidentally didn’t have organic gardens and ate a lot of meat.

If you think all successful wealthy people are “fortunate” and should share their ill gotten gains with the “less fortunate” and are willing to hold $1,000 plate dinners at your mansion to raise money to help the cause.

If, you read this and immediately get angry and defensive then, you might be a Liberal

This was fun. Stand by all there’s definitely more to come!

Torture, Anyone?


Water Boarding? Are we kidding; Torture? Endless SNL re-runs with Tina Fay impersonating Sarah Palin is torture. Sometimes I get so damn confused that what would otherwise be normal, rational people, could somehow distort reality so much, I can’t discern real from rubber boots. The kind of boots worn by pig farmers and the only uniform needed when listening to left wing nut jobs.

Pearl, a journalist had his head hacked off with a dull knife! What, no water in the dessert? There could have been a Niagara falls and the monkey’s in sheets (the radicals, sorry have to clarify since my neck likes where my head is) would still opt for the most extremes of torture. Only they call it death. Imagine what he went through before losing his life.

He was blindfolded and his hands tied behind his back. Forced to beg for his life and hoping the whole time that somehow, his captures would show a hint of humility and allow him to live. To go home to his family and live a life like most American’s. His mind swirling with fear, doubt, confusion. The last seconds leading up to the first cold swipe of the dull blade was torture. The blood spewing from his throbbing arteries as his head is slowly severed from his body is, torture. The millions of hits on the web of people wanting to see with their own eyes and the media engrossed in the gore show as one of their own is mutilated, is torture. His family, knowing how and seeing how and never understanding why he was murdered the way he was, is torture. And then, water boarding; TORTURE?!!

There is nothing funny about the atrocities and the radical justifications for doing what they have done to Americans around the globe. If ever there was a reason to understand why drugs are and should be illegal, it’s now. All those hippies from the 60’s are now in control of our Country. The weed they had back then must have been really good, because it’s definitely fried their minds. Now, they are trying to fry the rest of us too. For someone to not see the hypocrisy between “man made events” (sounds so warm and fuzzy doesn’t it?) like beheading and suicide bombings and then calling water boarding torture, they have got to be high. The same people who tout the rule of law are the same ones who seek amnesty for illegal immigrants, condoning the killing of late term babies, and sanctuary cities. Ooh, the law dude, we got to enforce the law…, wait…, is that a unicorn on top of that cloud, dude? Sooo, cool. Give me a break!

All those bed wetting, pot smoking hippies, including the one in the white house who did Coke in college, have no idea what torture is. What they do have is a common disdain of what has made America the greatest society in human history. They prefer Marxism, Socialism, Communism. Anything, but Americanism. They have spent the last remaining brain cells they have, trying to bring us to our knees and continue to be complicit in supporting those radical organizations which agree with their distorted version of America.

No, water boarding is not torture. Beheading innocent civilians, gunning down women and children and forcing the mentally handicapped the strap a bomb on is torture. Making it through the next 4 years with the most mind numbing imbeciles our country has ever produced is torture. The best we can hope for is enough coke and pot in D.C. to make them lay on their back and make cloud flowers. To do absolutely as little as possible. This will be the only way we’ll still have enough left to rebuild what our Soldiers have been fighting and dying for. If we’re successful and survive, I have two little words that will bring shivers to those big, mean, terrorist; Gurgle, gurgle!

Hope? We Should All Hope No Obama

Hope? What is hope? I hope you get healthy soon. Or, I hope you like your new job. What in the hell does Obama mean hen he says “hope?” Hope is a wish, not a probability. Anyone who flaunts this as anything other is a blatant manipulator in the same light as snake oil salesmen of old. Obama plays to people he knows will buy his message hook line and sinker. People who have made a living dreaming and wishing rather than thinking and doing. The only exception would be the other elitists such as Oprah who want to be invited to the party more than they would ever consider fighting for or defending this great country. Indeed, those people who are independent , responsible and have an inherent love of god and country, are immune to and angered by Obama and his ilk.

This may be uncomfortable to anyone who is voting for Obama, but to be as direct as possible, you are an ignorant, co-dependent self loathing and thankless representation of what makes America great. Yes, you have a right to believe and say whatever you want. You also have the right to vote for whomever you feel like voting for. But, with these rights comes a responsibly to ensure those people who you vote for are going to represent you, protect and uphold the Constitution of the United States and to serve America above all else.

Obama does not respect the Constitution, Democracy or America. His rhetoric spews of an elitist who much like the Madonna’s of Hollywood who use fake accents while trashing the very country and people which made them who they are, think they are better. He has the audacity to tell Americans they are self-serving, selfish bigots. The only people I know who are bigots, hate lying, manipulative and condescending political thugs like Obama. The only race we consider is the one which ultimately leads to the White House.

Contrary to the liberal efforts over the last 30-40 years to demoralize, disenfranchise and minimize those who do not share their contempt for America and Christianity, they have only made us stronger. Now, we are angry and ready to take this battle to the polls. We will, one by one, separate but united, young, old, white, black, red, on our feet or in our chairs make you see once and for all, that our love for this country is deeper and stronger than any loathing you may have for the same. So, to all the people who would rather live under the reign of Obama’s Socialist regime for four years than in freedom no matter the cost now is the time for you to practice Obama‘s empty message of “hope.”
