Relocation Frenzy

 As soon as I discovered that CNN, CBS, NBC, and ABC were not providing their viewing public with both sides of the story that was balanced, I switched to FOX NEWS who was doing a better job of that.

While I was raised a liberal, I get OFFENDED when the NEWS is censored as I perceive myself to be smart enough to hear both sides and decide which side I want to follow.

Consequently, those other media outlets will no longer get my viewing support and I believe that more and more Americans are agreeing with me.

Meanwhile...

there is a group of us...  that is to say about 50% of the current population, who, do not particularly care about the direction the rest of the country is heading.

WE SUPPORT THE POLICE

WE SUPPORT OWNING FIREARMS

WE SUPPORT THE CONSTITUTION

WE SUPPORT LEGAL IMMIGRATION

WE SUPPORT WORKING FOR A LIVING

WE SUPPORT A STRONG MILITARY

However...  I also like to smoke a joint every now and then and reflect back upon the 1960's when my fellow hippies and I had no cares in the world except avoiding the VIETNAM War.

What I am seeing now is,

companies and people relocating from those Democratic managed States because of two basic issues:

• Increase in Taxes
• Defunding the Police

Personally, I have no problems with defunding the police because I really do like to exceed the speed limits on the Interstate Highways and since CRIME is really low in where I am currently living, I see no need at all to have a bunch of cops riding around in their police cruisers intimidating the residents with their presence.

BUT...

I am not going to be a happy camper if those damn people who are leaving Democratic States come into this area of East TN and change the damn politics...  I am here because of the politics and because it is cheaper to live.

As far as I am concerned, they can relocate in Texas, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, Mississippi, Alabama, and North Carolina...  just not here in East TN...  although, Memphis or Nashville would be ok...

Sick and Tired...

I am so sick and tired of the Democrats, the Progressive Democrats, the Liberals, the Socialists, and all of the mainstream media outlets that support their foolishness because of the endless assaults on anyone and everyone that does not think like they do...  that, I am thinking maybe they should just get their way for a few years and see how they fix things without blaming their failures on someone else...



Democrats want to government to provide DAMN NEAR EVERYTHING to the people

Democrats want the WEALTHY to pay for it all

Think about that a minute or two...

Them Democrats are going to tell someone like BILL GATES that they are going to take a few billion away from him and give it to a bunch of other Americans who can't pour piss out of a boot with directions written on the heel...  and, have the audacity to think that BILL GATES won't do shit against them...

I am sure that many wealthy people would be willing to pay a little increase in their taxes but not more than that...  and if they feel like this is going to happen, then they will get with their tax attorneys and shelter their money in offshore bank accounts where the IRS cannot tax their money or even find out how much money they have there...

Wealthy people ARE NOT AS STUPID AS THOSE PEOPLE WHO AREN'T WEALTHY ARE...  and yet, our smart Democrats do not understand that...  at least it would seems...

Once business and industry have their taxes raised and be told again by their tax lawyers that the Federal Government has returned the government regulations that Trump removed...  well...  they ain't stupid either, so I suspect they will pull back on their expansion plans which will also result in pulling back on hiring employees...

In some cases, there is a very good possibility that they will also increase prices to cover these increased expenses rather then show a profit reduction to their shareholders who will sell stock if something like that were to happen...

Of course, the Democrats and the Mainstream Media have a plan of action to counter what industry might do because what industry might do will literally destroy the economy and any growth forecasts that might have been predicted...

YES...  Vote Democratic...  and let them have a shot at fixing everything...

HYPOCRITICAL DEMOCRATS

The ME TOO movement is DEAD because of the Democrats and the mainstream media's believing JOE BIDEN when he says nothing sexually happened...

Remember what the DEMOCRATS and the MAINSTREAM MEDIA did to Brett Kavanaugh when he was being considered for Supreme Court Justice...

                                                                                                               

 DEMOCRATS SAY GUILTY AS CHARGED

DEMOCRATS SAY NOT GUILTY AS CHARGED

WORDS OF THE PROPHETS

The words by which we live our lives basically comes from two different but distinct groups of people: Republicans and Democrats.

“The main difference between the two parties is, indeed, their political orientation. The Democratic Party is left-leaning, liberal and usually associated with progressiveness and equality. The Republican Party, instead, is right-leaning, traditional and associated with equity and economic freedom and with the ideal of ‘survival of the fittest’.” 

Some of us believe that the Democrats support the following:

Large government

Adequate military

No homeland security

Social welfare

Abortion & Late Term Abortion

Strict regulation of second amendment

Same sex marriage

Open borders

Free healthcare

High taxes on wealthy

Free education

Increasing national debt

High wages

Universal legalization of marijuana

Consequently, some of believe that the Republicans support exactly the opposite.  Now, it is not this simply, but it is close except for the area of defense and military, the Republicans want it to be super big and strong…  just in case.

Recently, we have seen that a majority of the media outlets (now referred to as mainstream media) favor the Democratic points-of-view and in so doing, negatively report the news that looks bad for the Republicans while soft pedaling the news that looks bad for the Democrats.  And, even though we have “freedom of the press” in this country through the first amendment, biased reporting is not responsible journalism…  journalism should be fair, balanced, and unbiased regardless of one’s personal feelings.

These same standards should apply to our law enforcement agencies but we have discovered that our own FBI and quite possibly our DOJ were politically biased during the 2016 Presidential Election.  We have no idea of the ramifications that are yet to result from this realization that may impact the future of both these fine institutions that have served us so well in the past.

And so, the words of our prophets have again come into question.

And, once again, our prophets are on separate shores of our political present and ultimately our political future and in so doing have divided our great country into two bitter camps of attitudes and opinions.

And, once again, the words of our prophets have put us into a position where opposing anger could ignite another civil war in this country.  But, this civil war will not be fought with firearms but with words that will make the HATE of our first civil war look timid and foolish.

The words of our prophets will hurt and burn for decades with neither side giving any forgiveness to the other side, no matter how many Christian Churches both sides represent.

The words of our prophets will cause a lack of respect and trust worse than the racists attitudes of the 1960’s that has never quite disappeared even though the well-to-do’s of both sides claim have improved.

The words of our prophets are as hollow as hollow point bullets used by criminals and hunters in a futile attempt to level the playing field.

Who am I to make this kind of a claim and indictment of our society?

                       I am a nobody…

                       I was born in 1947 and have seen 7 decades of political missteps and stupid approaches by both parties…   and, what has been impressed upon me the most is that NOTHING CHANGES…

                       I am not a political expert.

                       I am not a historian.

                       I have never lived a very influential life although I have been a teacher of sorts.

                       I am a Vietnam Veteran and a very proud American who loves his country.

                 I am a senior citizen who now believes our two parties have gone too far with their political rhetoric and the general public is copying their attitudes by showing extreme hatred to the other side, that is to say, those that represent the other party.

It is also sad to say that these sentiments are now being absorbed by comedians who have only showed or demonstrated HATRED for the Republican Party while giving the Democratic Party a PASS.

What kind of equality or fair play is this?

Whose fault is this?

It is the fault of our prophets and their followers…

 And that my friends is you and I.
