Cindy Sheehan is Mentally Ill

After seeing the headlines today and seeing that Cindy Sheehan called Senator John McCain a "warmonger", I have come to the conclusion that she is mentally ill. Perhaps Ms. Sheehan has had a problem with mental illness all of her life or maybe the death of her son drove her over the edge. If anyone can truly understand the horrors of war, it is Senator McCain.

How could a sane person call post Hurricane Katrina New Orleans an "occupied city", even after the bleeding heart liberals blasted President Bush for not having troops in the city immediately after Katrina's eye was a mile inland? No wonder most of Ms. Sheehan's family have disowned her and her husband is divorcing her. I believe that liberals, insane in their own right, will see how deranged Ms. Sheehan is and even distance themselves from her, once they use her for what they can.

The War in Iraq

Yesterday, while watching the coverage on Hurricane Rita on Fox News, I saw a commercial in which several mothers who had lost their soldier children in Iraq were complaining about the war and demanding that President Bush pull our troops out of Iraq. To be quite honest, I was surprised to see that Fox News would run such a commercial. I would have expected it from CNN but not Fox.

My heart goes out to those parents and families that have lost their children and loved ones in Iraq and any other part of the world. My children are the most important things to me in this life and I would be just as crushed if they were killed. When the war in Iraq started, I had to be honest with myself and ask, "What if my son went to war and was killed?" I wouldn't want him to die anymore than any of these people on the commercial wanted their children to die. But, I would be proud of him for enlisting and serving in our military.

The war in Iraq is absolutely necessary. We are seeing Muslims from many other Middle Eastern countries fighting our soldiers. We see what they stand for; murdering innocent people, men, women, children, most every one of them Muslims themselves. It proves that these supposed "freedom fighters" are nothing but a bunch of murderous hoodlums who only want to shed innocent blood. This mindset has, unfortunately, spread throughout the Middle East. Israel has suffered attacks from these violent murderers for years. Bin Laden and others say we have murdered millions of their people. I have to ask, "Where and when?" If I remember correctly, the United States helped the Afgans out when they fought for their freedom from Russia. We give billions of US dollars to Middle Eastern countries every year and oil revenues that make many Middle Easterners extremely wealthy are mostly paid by Americans when we pump gasoline into our cars.

All of this just proves that if you give and give and give, people will only hate, hate, hate. We see it right here in the U.S. We have given blacks in America, trillions of dollars in aid over the last forty to fifty years. Still many blacks in the U.S. blame "the man" for their problems instead of looking deeply into their culture to see where changes could be made. They also make heroes of people like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton. Why don't they look to blacks like Bill Cosby and Clarence Thomas who have made something of their lives?

I am very sorry that the mothers in the commercial lost their children but if I remember correctly, none of their children were forced to serve in the United States military. Women are emotional and God made them that way. If we let our country be ran by emotions we will not exist for another 100 years. We can already see what happens when women such as Barbara Boxer, Hillary Clinton and other liberal congresswomen gain positions of power in which they have no place. It is time for our country to stand behind President Bush. Thank God that our President is bold in the face of adversity and is not blown about by every wind of change as his predecessor was.

Hurricane Rita and Gasoline Price Predictions

If you think gasoline prices jumped after Hurricane Katrina, just wait and see what they do if Hurricane Rita hits the Galveston/Texas City, Texas area!

Fifty percent of the world’s chemical plants and  refineries are situated along the area from Galveston up through the Houston ship channel. The world’s largest gasoline refinery, owned by BP is in Texas City, just about three miles across the bay, north of Galveston.

Many people are claiming that Hurricane Katrina is the United States’ worst natural disaster. They are WRONG. The worst natural disaster in the United States was the 1900 storm that hit Galveston Island. Hurricanes were not named in 1900 and the storm that hit was only a category 4, yet it killed at least 6,000 and probably as many as 10,000 people. As far as human deaths are concerned, Katrina pales in comparison to the lives lost in the 1900 storm.

What if Rita, a category 5 hurricane at this moment hits Galveston? Our economy will be severely crippled since the cost of fuel will go up followed by everything else since the costs of manufacturing and transportation will be passed along to the consumer. Let’s all pray that Rita will lose strength and head toward the Texas/Mexico border like Hurricane Gilbert did several years ago. Our economy simply cannot stand another MAJOR disaster.

I Support President Bush and the War on Terror!

I don’t know if I’m alone or what? It seems like our local newspaper, the Salt Lake Tribune only publishes letters from people that hate President Bush. I really believe that those of us who do support President Bush and also support the war on terror are much less vocal than his opponents.

I’ve thought long and hard about why some people seem to hate President Bush. My conclusions are this;

1. President Bush is a Texan. It seems to me that southern white males are about the most discriminated against people in the United States. I believe it eminates from the Civil War era. After the Civil War, the south was basically raped by the north. Liberals still throw the race card around when not one black person in the U.S. today was ever a slave. One of my son’s friend’s dads is from South Africa. He says the blacks in America should be thankful that they were brought to this country. When I see the conditions in many parts of Africa, I would have to concur!


2. President Bush is a born again Christian and isn’t ashamed of it. Liberals seem to hate Christians. They don’t know it but the born again Christians, in this country,  are the only reason God spares and blesses this country!


3. Bush haters are upset that they didn’t sweep the last two presidential elections. I saw George Carlin on Bill Mahr’s show on HBO recently. He would only refer to President Bush as “Governor Bush.” He said, “That is the only election he ever won”. Well Mr. Carlin, You can say the Supreme Court got involved in Bush’s first election but did you forget the second election? In my opinion, Mr. Carlin is a selfish, bitter, rebellious person that needs to grow up. I won’t even get started on Bill Mahr but if I was the head of FEMA and Mr. Mahr had said the things about my wife like he did the head of FEMA’s wife, I’d be finding him and punching him in the nose.

Needless to say, I do support President Bush and his war on terror. I think what we are doing in Iraq is right and it is just. The insurgents in Iraq are nothing but murderous thugs. They have no respect for anyone and definitely have no respect for God. They kill innocent civilians without remorse. For sure, God (not Allah, who is Satan masquerading as God) has a special place in Hell for them. But, that is another blog entry for another day!

God bless President Bush! May God give him wisdom, strength and courage to continue bringing peace and democracy to this world!

Im Hungry and My Knees Hurt!

I’m hungry and my knees hurt!

I am a shifworker. I  work twelve hour shifts and rotate from nights to days, nights to days , over and over. A couple of months ago, on vacation in Las Vegas, my left knee blew out without me doing anything to it. About two weeks later, my first night back at work, my right knee did the same thing! The doctor doesn’t have a clue what is going on. He just gave me Naproxin and said to give them time to get better. Well, I’m getting tired of hurting. My back has been shot for years and I’ve dealt with ongoing pain because of severe sciatic nerve damage and now my knees? This is crazy! I took work off last night and I absolutely hate having to call off.  The doctor x-rayed my knees and the cartlige looks good. Do any of you have any ideas on what could be making my knees hurt?

I need to get something to eat for supper but nothing sounds good. Ever been there?

Rebuild New Orleans? At What Cost?

It has been five days since the devastating hurricane, Katrina, hit New Orleans and the Mississippi coast. Thousands of people are still stranded although food and drinking water are beginning to get through to the people. There is already talk of rebuilding the City of New Orleans but at what cost. Already, this tragedy has not only cost thousands of lives but it has made a tremendous negative impact upon the United States economy.

I'm glad that our government has the capacity to step in and help in these situations but it ends up costing all of us. Questions are being asked as to why our government took so long to begin relief efforts. Let Hurricane Katrina be a lesson to all of us that we are responsible for ourselves. We cannot and should not expect our government to bail us out everytime there is a natural disaster.

If I had lived through this horrible disaster, I would certainly not rebuild there. New Orleans is essentially a dry lake bed surrounded by the Mississippi River and Lake Ponchartrain. Obviously, government officials had looked at their "worse case scenarios," one of them being exactly what happened. If New Orleans is rebuilt at a cost to all of us through taxation, higher insurance rates and higher prices for goods, we will all suffer. What is to keep another major hurricane from hitting New Orleans again, once it is rebuilt?

Should people decide to rebuild in Lake New Orleans, it should be under these conditions:
1. You will not be allowed to purchase insurance on your land, home, business or vehicles.
2. You rebuild at your own risk, our government, state and federal will not come to your aid in any capacity if there is a major hurricane and/or flood.

This may sound harsh but why should a disaster in one city, that could have been averted, affect the livelyhood of all Americans.

That being said, our prayers are with the people of New Orleans but let's look at this with common sense and rebuild where the land is above sea level.
