One Mans Opinion 8/31/2012
By Dewaine Shoulders

The 2012 GOP Convention is history (and a great one it was), and the DNC Convention is coming up next week. But, I'll not be talking about them. I'll leave that to the commentators and pundits out there. Instead, I'll be discussing the new words that are now being deemed racist, or otherwise unsavory by the left. And forgive me if I leave some out. I don't wish to write a six page article here.

MSNBC (Mainly Snooty Nonsensical Bitchy Communists), is the home of that great journalist (ahem), Chris Matthews, who deemed Golf and Chicago as code words for racism the other day. Really? So someone going to Chicago to play golf is a racist now? Imagine that! I dare say that Mr. Matthews is every bit the racists that he pretends NOT to be. But that's just me. I know he meant that those words, used against his man-love, Obama, are racists, but I bet the tingle he feels down his leg is just a deep like for BHO. Yeah, that's it!

But now, fresh on the heels of the GOP convention, the State Department (Hillary Clinton's Special Education Crew) has come out with more words and phrases that are deemed unsavory in today's PC world. Remember. these are the same people that changed "war on terror" to "overseas contingency operation." How politically correct! What if we called it Killing the Bad Guys? Nope, too politically incorrect. Killing is such a bad word. How about aborting the bad guys? Would that be a better term to use? The left simply love abortions, so I would assume that one would pass muster with them... Maybe?

According to the State Department, "Hold Down the Fort" is un-PC. I'll let you laugh at that for a moment before I continue. Done? Okay, as I was saying, according to the State Department, "Hold Down the Fort" could be potentially insulting to American Indians, er, Native Americans. Being part Cherokee myself, I find it appalling that someone would take an arcane term (that means something totally different today than it did back in the old west days) and make it (potentially) hate speech. Only some communistic A-hole would even think in those terms.

Then, of course, there's "Going Dutch." According to the State Department, it is deemed stereotypical now. It makes the Dutch look cheap. Hey, I have some Dutch blood in me too, and I am cheap. I see no problem there, but I'm not Mr. Sensitivity like those wonderful folks on the left, otherwise known as Communist PC Police.

"Rule of Thumb" is now on the list because of some arcane law from the past that states "the width of a husband's thumb was the legal size of a switch or rod allowed to beat his wife." Honestly guys, how many of you even knew that? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

Other arcane laws exist in every State Constitution out there. For instance, we have a law here in Kentucky that states a woman has to walk several feet in front of a wagon, holding a lantern, at night. I don't think 99% of the people in Kentucky even know that law exists. Sure, it was from an era that women could not vote, and were deemed property to most men, but those days are long gone, and thank God for it.

I had always heard the "Rule of Thumb" was an electricians term. Something about the flow of electricity through a wire, depended on where you placed your thumb, or some nonsense like that (an electrician I'm not). Does this mean that all electricians are racists or gender-phobic now?

Then there's the word handicap. Most everyone knows that disabled people were, and in some cases, still referred to by this word. But handicap is something odds-makers in Vegas, and horse racing tracks all over the country do in setting the odds for the races. So now, according to the State Department, and those enlightened folks on the left, all of those odds makers are racists, or at the very least insensitive to the needs of the disabled?

Isn't it wonderful how our language is being used to attack us? The PC Police are hard at work to make sure we speak in terms that they alone deem fit; all other speech is divisive and hurtful. Before long, our free speech rights will be gone, thanks to the PC Police, and those communist bastards (oops, that would mean someone born out of wedlock - a no no in today's welfare world) who have been butchering (I know, a very hateful word) the language to suit their political agenda.

I'm 50% Dutch, 50% Cherokee, 50% Irish and 100% American (you'll have to dig back a long way to remember where that line came from), and to think I have been saying things that might hurt some communist/PC freak. What else will they deem unfit to say next? We can't even begin to scratch the surface of what the PC crowd will deem racist/homophobic/etc. next.

Does anyone remember the Seven Deadly Words George Carlin used that could not be said on TV? I sure do, and would type them now, but it might offend someone, so I won't. Now, there are more words being added to that original 7, and in many cases, those 7 Deadly Words are more acceptable to the left than anything else. Even old Joe Biden said "This is a big f**king deal!" in regards to Obamacare... Oops, Obamacare is considered hate speech too.

Of course, it's okay for Obama said  that he preferred to call Romneycare as "Romney Don't Care." And, of course, his toadies on the left loved that.

Words are all we have to communicate with, and our lexicon is being dwindled daily by the left. Pretty soon, all we'll have are grunts, and I bet certain grunts will be deemed hate grunts from the left too.

So, we had better choose our words wisely, otherwise the PC police, and those who love them, will be knocking on our door, duct tape in hand, to seal our mouths from uttering anything ever again! Before that happens, let's take America back from the loonfish on the left, and tape their mouths shut.

Vote Romney/Ryan 2012, and piss-off (uh urinate) a liberal! That sounds like fun to me. 

But that's just my opinion, I could be right!

PAUL RYAN!

When you read those words, does it make you cringe, or celebrate? I guess it all depends on if you're a liberal or a conservative.

When Mitt Romney chose Paul Ryan, a TEA Party favorite, as his running mate for the November presidential election, I said "Thank God!"  We now have two people running in this campaign that can count (I'm talking better than basic math), and have an idea how to run a business, and a country (and not into the ground as the current occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. has done).

Now, the Democratic Machine has a new target to smear. Already, folks like Debbie Wasserman Schultz have been out there spouting really bad things about Paul Ryan. For example, he's an out of touch, right wing extremist, who will push little old ladies in wheelchairs over the edge of a cliff, and anything else their little minds can come up with. Really?

The left bemoans the Paul Ryan Budget. Now, the left says it would gut Medicare. In all actuality, it keeps Medicare alive longer than what's currently projected (since BHO gutted $716 BILLION dollars out of it to get Obamacare). What the left-leaning Mainstream media isn't saying is that if nothing is done to fix Medicare, it will go belly-up in 12 years! FLOP!

Here's some facts to ponder:

If you are 65-years-old, or older, and currently receiving Medicare benefits, Paul Ryan’s proposed budget would not affect you. So no pushing grandma over the cliff like the democrats want you to believe. All of you seniors out there can take a deep breath, knowing you're gonna be okay!

Ryan's  proposal will gradually increase Medicare’s eligibility age from 65 to 67 years of age. And that won’t start until 2023, 11 years from now. People like myself (I'm 52) would be a part of that crowd, and that's okay with me, considering I'd probably see nothing otherwise if Medicare isn't fixed.

For of us folks that will be turning 65 after 2023--- The low-income folks would receive higher payments from the federal government to help them purchase private insurance.  Those in the higher-income bracket would receive lower payments.

Also, people who are ill (or at least sicker than others) would receive higher payments while those healthier folks would receive lower payments.

So, that isn't Draconian by any means. The real problem is that if Medicare isn't fixed soon, it is projected to go bankrupt in 2024 (especially under Obama's plan... If he actually has a plan, other than spending us all into oblivion). SPLAT!

So why isn't the mainstream media going after Obama for his lack of a plan to save Medicare? Hmm? The mainstream media, and the Progressive Communist Caucus (a.k.a. the DNC) can't, or won't go after BHO because that just wouldn't be proper. I mean really... Going after a sitting president (Like they did with GWB... But that was different; he was a Republican!). It seems to me that the liberal/ progressives in the media, and in Washington, want to make Ryan a pariah; the head of an evil organization (the RNC) that's dead set in destroying America. Instead, I think the vast majority of intelligent, thinking Americans will see that Ryan is probably one of a handful of people who can make sense of the complex budgetary problems... And might be just the guy to fix it. BOFFO!

Unlike Harry Reid, the so-called leader of the senate, who has not passed a budget in over 1,200 days. Reid, like Obama, isn't someone that I would consider serious about the budget. If anyone is guilty of trying to destroy America, I'd say that those on the left are not only doing it, but succeeding thus far. So, we need a hero, or heroes, to step-in and stop those dastardly despots trying to destroy America from within! And the Dynamic Duo of Romney and Ryan are coming! KERPOW!

Okay, I watched too much Batman as a kid.

At least Paul Ryan is trying to bring some budgetary sanity back to Washington, and that is going to be one major job with all of the free-spenders there!

Back to Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan--- These two are powerful together, and this probably scares the H E double hockey sticks out of those whiny, spineless jellyfish in DC (on both sides of the aisle). Together, the Dynamic Duo of Romney and Ryan are probably more adept to repair the mess that BHO and company have gotten us into for the past 3 and a half years. We already know BHO, and the liberal plan is to spend, spend, spend, tax, tax, and tax some more!

Those folks cheering on BHO will use lies and fuzzy math to promote their guy. They honestly think we'll be skeered of Romney and Ryan. What scares me is four more years of Obama, and his attempt to turn America into Europe Jr.

They will lie to us (both the DNC crowd and the mainstream media) to keep their guy in office to finish the job of transforming America into something the Founding Fathers tried to keep us from becoming... Just another tyrannical country, run by elitists dictators in fancy suits and no love for freedom.
As for the debates, the lies and half-truths that BHO and Biden will tell--- twisted up and made to sound reasonable--- will come back to haunt them in November. And we all know that only the most liberal moderators will be chosen to head the debates, because that's just what the mainstream media does. And they don't seem ashamed for their lack of being fair and balanced. 

Personally, I can't wait until the vice-presidential debate, because I want to see Paul Ryan school Joe "the gaffer" Biden on all things budgetary, and socially. Biden will look as inept as he always looks, and Ryan will look... Well, Vice Presidential! And Romney will show Obama what being presidential is all about. As for Obama, well I don't think his teleprompter can save him in the three debates set to happen between now and the election.

In closing, at least Romney and Ryan have a plan to save America! All the left can do is wish for its downfall. We've seen what Hope and Change has done to America. 8.3% unemployment for 42 months; with nearly half of all Americans now drawing a check from the government, and the promise of increased taxes on small businesses and those making over $250,000. Let's just Hope that the ticket of Romney and Ryan can win... And Change what had been done to cripple America! BAM!

Will the Dynamic Duo save the day? Or will the evil-doers already in office finish America off. Stay tuned... Same bat-time, same bat-channel!

But that's just my opinion, I could be right!

One Mans Opinion 8/3/2012
By Dewaine Shoulders

Of Chickens and Men

This has been a week full of distractions. From Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day, to Harry Reid doubling-down on his assertion that Mitt Romney hasn't paid taxes in ten years.

Now, according to Mr. Reid (I'd call him Senator Reid, but that would be an insult to senators everywhere), someone from Bain Capitol called him up and stated that Mitt Romney had not paid taxes for ten years. The caller gave no proof, and didn't even mention his own name. So, Mr. Reid basically called out Mitt Romney to prove that he has paid his taxes based upon the anonymous call. 

Is Harry Reid calling Mitt Romney a tax cheat? Well, if that's the case, then there should be no problem with Romney as a president. According to the leftie loonfish, Timothy Geithner is a great Secretary of the Treasury. The sad fact is that he is also a tax cheat. Based on the lefts own criteria, that would make Mitt Romney an excellent president. Liberal Logic 101.

So now, Mitt Romney has to prove he has paid his taxes. He's supposed to release the last ten years worth of tax filings in order to prove this. Well, based upon the criteria, then Obama should hand over is school records, his birth certificate, and anything else to prove he's an actual citizen of this country. I mean, fair is fair, right? Or is it only fair when the left has to prove nothing and the right has to prove everything? I get confused there.

If Romney cheated on his taxes for 10 years, or not paid them at all, then wouldn't the IRS have gone after him? I mean, the IRS goes after everyone... With exception of leftist loonfish tax cheats like Geithner, and political donors to the DNC.

So, this is yet another distraction from the loonfish lefties trying to throw everyone off the scent that this economy is in a nuclear meltdown because of people like Reid, Obama, Pelosi, and the rest of God's Special Education Crew ruining--- I mean running the country right now.

Now, I have seen postings on Facebook that Harry Reid is a pedophile. Of course I don't believe that to be true, but now the burden of proof (according to Harry Reid's own standards) is to prove his innocence. I mean, come on, right is right, Mr. Reid. How can we know it not to be the truth unless you prove it to be false. I have also heard that he abuses puppies and kittens too. Prove that wrong, Harry. Prove that wrong.

And then there's the whole Chick-fil-A debacle.

Dan Cathy, the 91 year old CEO and founder of Chick-fil-A is pro-traditional marriage (the Biblical definition is between one man and one woman), and someone who donates money to pro-traditional marriage groups. Because of that, the militant leftie loonfish says that he is a hate monger... That he's spouting hate speech. Why? Because he spoke his mind in an interview? I don't believe he ever said anything that was demeaning or hateful against homosexuals during the interview; nor did he go out of his way to suggest that his company discriminates against gay people.

Essentially just having a pro-straight agenda makes him a racist, a homophobe, and someone not worthy to have an opinion... At least according to those wonderfully tolerant folks on the left, who wanted to boycott Chick-fil-A. Or those nice mayors that suggested that the restaurants were not welcomed in their towns; or that they didn't have the same values as the people of those cities.

Maybe that's why Chick-fil-A ran out of food in many locations this past Wednesday. Maybe that's why there were long lines and traffic jams around every Chick-fil-A in the country. The overwhelming show of support that people gave Dan Cathy and Chick-fil-A proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that We The People don't give a rats patootie about the leftist militant hate mongers that wished death upon those of us that ate at Chick-fil-A. Even Roseanne Barr, that bastion of all things upstanding, (GAG ME!) tweeted that she hoped people that ate at "Sh*t-fil-A (her words) got cancer and died."

Don't you just love the tolerance the left has? They are tolerant so long as we agree with them, otherwise they want us to STFU!

But again, these are distractions to the real story... That being the economy.

The Obama camp has to distract people from the truth. The truth that they've screwed this economy up so badly that it will take years to dig ourselves out of the gigantic hole they have dug us into. Here, look at this shiny object while we do something else to screw the economy up, and blame Bush because of it.

George Bush was a far better president, and human being, than the current Community Organizer in Chief could ever hope to be. But that's yet another distraction, isn't it?

So let's look back to the last Democrat that occupied 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. --- William Jefferson Clinton.

The Clinton presidency was won on the motto of It's The Economy, Stupid!

Perhaps the Romney campaign should borrow a page out of history and point out that It's the economy, Obama! Maybe if the real reason for the  distractions were pointed out, then maybe more people would get excited and get behind Romney. While I'm not a fan of Romney, he'd be 100% better as president because he knows how to run a business. All BHO has ever run is his mouth; and only with the restraint of his trusty teleprompter... Otherwise his mouth gets him in trouble.

According to the polls, Romney and Obama are in a statistical dead heat, and in a couple of the polls, it shows that Romney is lagging behind. Of course, the polls are never right. Does anyone remember that Reagan was well behind in the polls leading up to a landslide defeat for Smilin' Jimmy Carter? Reagan was behind in the polls, lambasted by the left, and the mainstream media way back then. Reagan somehow managed to soundly defeat the worst president in modern history back in 1980. Well, now Carter is the 2nd worst president in modern history. Obama now has the distinction of being #1, and still he is leading in the polls. How could that be? Unless, of course, the polling data is skewed in such a way that more liberals are polled than conservatives. It could happen!  But again, polling data is never accurate, otherwise Carter would have won back in '80, and the Reagan revolution would have never taken place.

So, will that mean a sure-fire victory for Romney in November?

I certainly hope so, because if history repeats itself, and it often does, We The People will be celebrating a Romney victory in November, and the leftist will have to regroup yet again... Hoping that next time they can get it right, and destroy everything good and decent about America. And if we ever let our guard down again, they will succeed!

But that's just my opinion, I could be right!
