Errol Flynn, Cary Grant, Clark Gable, Tyrone Powers; what do they all have in common? These men were all heart throbs of the silver screen. They could capture the heart of many a star-struck young girl. They were masculine and charming; they could turn a phrase in a way that made them irresistible to the ladies. I'm sure there is a crop of current young actors with the same ability as the previous names I mentioned; I suffer from "generational gapness" in this matter; please forgive me. When I watch these men on the screen, I've noticed one thing that is always common in their romantic encounters; they always respect the ladies they are trying to romance. To these icons of romance, the lady was not a conquest, she was a treasure of love to be cherished, and held in the highest esteem.
I've been married over thirty years and I still remember the exhilaration of seeing my future wife, and thinking how great she was (and is). I wanted to be that guy in those movies who knew all the right words to want her to be with me and nobody else. My goal from the beginning of our relationship was to have her for my wife; not just a physical conquest! Respect is the seed of a successful relationship. Men who seek women for a selfish victory aren't real men; they see women as something less than human beings.
Last week, former President Bill Clinton spoke to a partisan Democratic crowd about some of the Republican candidates. He referred to Linda McMahon as the "wrestling lady" and Christine O'Donnell as the "witch lady"; he also made a veiled reference to Sarah Palin as "Alice in Wonderland". Mr. Clinton, famous chauvinist and user of women, is once again showing his disdain for the worth of women. Oddly, organizations like NOW (National Organization for Women) have great support for this misogynist. O'Donnell has a checkered past from her youth, yet, her current credentials are quite inspiring, she probably "inhaled" when she was in college. She has been upfront about her youthful errors. Linda McMahon is a real American success story. She, along with her husband Vince, took a local wrestling organization to a billion dollar corporation. She is a skilled and shrewd negotiator and is responsible for much of the WWE success story. Maybe Bill is threatened by strong, powerful women. Maybe that is why he used his positions as President and Governor to try to attain those sexual conquests outside of his marriage. Perhaps he was intimidated by his own wife.
Christine O'Donnell, Linda McMahon, and Sarah Palin aren't Monica Lewinsky or Paula Jones. They don't have positions that are vulnerable to predatory womanizers. They are Bill Clinton's nightmare, women of intelligence and purpose, eminently qualified, and unafraid of his leftist blustering. His "charm" won't work on them, and he doesn't like that!
I know Bill Clinton is the "Big Hero" of the Democratic Party, the big personality; but down deep, he is a user and abuser. The facts about him are easy to find. It seems Mr. Clinton thinks he is Errol Flynn, but in reality he is more like Larry Flynt!

"Mind Your Own Children!"
The United States of America extends from the Canadian border on the north to the Mexican border on the south. We have Alaska, which borders Canada, Hawaii, an island and American territory, Puerto Rico. The people living within those boundaries are bound by the laws of the United States of America. People who live outside those boundaries are outside of the dominion of the United States, and are not bound by U.S. laws.
When I was a boy growing up, my Dad had a saying "My house, my rules, if you don't like it here, you can move out and make your own rules." My Dad was a wise man. He paid the bills; he provided our food, clothes, medical care and any other expense the family required. Now Dad's rules didn't extend to other families. When we were out and we would see other children acting in ways that were not tolerated in our house, Dad would say, "Not my kids, not my rules." Dad's authority was limited to our household, it didn't extend to our neighbor's children; although he wouldn't tolerate disrespect from anyone while they were in our home, and he would let any person who was a guest know that.
"Mexico does not end at its borders, where there is a Mexican there is Mexico", these words were spoken by Mexico's President Calderon on September 4, 2010. This is the same President Calderon who spoke against the state of Arizona before our Congress to a standing ovation of Democrats. I'll have to look closely at my ballot in the next election to see if I can find the name Calderon anywhere! He feels he can dictate American policy on the floor of our own Congress; what arrogance!
It seems Mexico is having more problems. The Mexican government doesn't want the United States to deport any more criminal illegal aliens back to their native country. Mayors from four Mexican cities, Tijuana, Ciudad Juarez, Nogales and Nuevo Laredo attended a mayor's conference in San Diego, California and they said they didn't want any more criminal illegal aliens sent back to Mexico. The Mexican government wants the United States to make "other arrangements" in regard to deporting illegals. It seems we have a policy of sending violent criminals back to Mexico after they finish their prison sentences here; and Mexico doesn't want them back! Mexico claims they are overwhelmed with the influx of deportees from the U.S., and they are having a crisis of housing, jobs, schools and crime! Oddly, it seems the Obama administration is cooperating by delaying or slowing our efforts to deport criminal illegal aliens back to Mexico. I guess we are supposed to cure Mexico's job, housing and crime problems by keeping their troubles in the United States! I guess when Calderon said" Mexico was anywhere a Mexican was" made a true statement. It seems we are subservient to Mexican requests at the expense of the American citizen.
When will Barack Obama realize we have enough problems of our own? We are not responsible for Mexican unemployment, housing or their high crime rate. When criminal illegal aliens commit violent acts in the United States and go to prison, we should send them back when they are done with their sentences. These people are a Mexican responsibility. Calderon, keep your troubles to yourself! America has enough trouble of our own!

"You're No Will Rogers, Sir!"
I like a good comedy! Mel Brooks is an American treasure; I've seen "Blazing Saddles" hundreds of times and it never gets old. I'm a "Honeymooners" fanatic; Gleason was a genius and Carney could not have been funnier. Laughter is an American staple; we love to poke fun in this country. No subject seems to be sacred; nothing is spared from a humorist's barb. Will Rogers was a very prominent humorist during the 30s and 40s; he gave no preference to any political philosophy or party. He would "get after" both the Democrats and Republicans alike. Oddly enough, his name was brought up at both political conventions as a nominee for President; which he humbly refused with a smile. He once said "There is something about Republicans, where you can only stand them for so long; and Democrats, where you can't stand them for quite that long", he gave no quarter to anyone because he had the eyes and heart of the average American. Bob Hope was a staunch Republican, yet by his monologues, you could never guess it, as he regularly made jokes about "Ike" and his golf game, and Reagan's acting ability. Hope was an" American Icon"; as a former service man, I hold Bob Hope in great esteem, as he put himself in harm's way to entertain our troops in many of our darkest hours. Both Rogers and Hope were great patriotic Americans. Love of country was apparent in all their actions and all their words. Neither of them espoused a political philosophy over basic American principles.
Last week, Stephen Colbert, the satirist on "Comedy Central", made an appearance at Congressional hearings on immigration and labor. Colbert has a successful show called the "Colbert Report", where he parodies FOX NEWS's Bill O'Reilly. I've seen it and it is a funny show and attracts many of the far left supporters. I'm afraid though, Mr. Colbert is no Will Rogers or Bob Hope. He is full of sarcasm but shows little substance in his obvious leftist views.
I don't know why Mr. Colbert was asked to appear at this hearing. I know he spent a day as a migrant worker, and perhaps the committee was expecting a serious dialogue about working condition for migrants. Perhaps they were expecting Walter Cronkite and got something else. Mr. Colbert used this appearance as a performance piece, not an opportunity to actually do something of substance for America. The more he spoke, the more the committee seemed to regret their invitation to him.
A Congressional hearing isn't "Comedy Central" (although they are sometimes laughable): it is a forum for information to the American people. I don't believe Will Rogers would have made jokes about the "Dust Bowl" before Congress, or Hope about the "Great Depression".
Mr. Colbert had the chance to do something for migrant workers, but he didn't. He made a joke of a Congressional hearing instead of giving value to a great opportunity to improve what has been a bad situation for many years. It's best for Mr. Colbert to remain on his cable show and stay away from Congress, as he thinks it is just a JOKE!

The Sword of Damocles"
Have you ever heard of "The Sword of Damocles" of Greek mythology? The mythical sword hangs precariously over the protagonists head by a tiny thread ready to fall at a moment's notice. At times, during my life, I've felt like that famous sword was hanging over my head. As a boy, I did my share of things that I didn't want my parents to find out, and when they did find out, they held that "sword": what and when will it happen put pressure on my young mind, and the anticipation magnified my anxiety ten- fold.
Over the last several weeks, we have had an ongoing debate over the "Bush Tax Cuts"; they have even been called, spuriously, the "Obama Middle Class Tax Cuts"; when in reality, Obama did not initiate any of these cuts. They are a tax break left over from G.W."s administration. Isn't it strange the way this administration will take credit for George Bush's tax program; but won't take responsibility for the debt and failed economic policies they have implemented; they are all George's fault! It seems all of Obama's failures can be traced back to George Bush. I believe he must be holding the former President hostage in a room in the White House, where they seek his advice so all their poor decisions can be traced back to him!
In twenty months of Obama's leadership virtually every failure, be it domestic or foreign, has been attributed to George W. Bush. Now, we are approaching the November "house cleaning" and the Obama-Pelosi-Reid Congress are going to have to "face the music", and they don't like it. Campaigning Democrats have been told to stay away from health care issues, and to give a "rose colored" view of the economy. More and more economists have endorsed the extension of the "BUSH TAX CUTS" as a way to help restore our ailing economy. Obama is adamant about no tax cuts for the wealthy, and has stone-walled any efforts to extend tax cuts for America's investment class.
Now, Nancy Pelosi announced that the tax cut issue will not be dealt with until after the November election. In a way, this is holding a sword, threatening the American taxpayer, in an effort to coerce votes. If you don't vote Democrat, there will be no extension of these cuts. It seems the Democrats, with little to say positively about the last twenty months are resorting to extortion to get American votes. Vote for us "OR ELSE", sounds an awful lot like "Chicago Politics" to me, or maybe a little like the "MAFIA". America, we are, in actuality, the ones holding the SWORD, and we are the ones in control. Don't allow Pelosi, Reid, and Obama to extort your votes. America, we must drop that sword!

"The Tasmanian Devil!"
When I was a kid I, loved Saturday morning cartoons. "Bugs Bunny, Popeye the Sailor, Mighty Mouse, Mickey Mouse, Yosemite Sam" and countless others filled those fun hours on Saturday. The great thing about cartoons is that no matter how much disaster and trauma cartoon characters go through, they always bounce back unharmed; good as new! Look at "Wiley Coyote", that poor guy has been chasing that "Road Runner" for years in a quest, they always ends in disaster; you know, falling anvils or huge explosions. Remember the "Tasmanian Devil", a whirling dervish that left a trail of destruction wherever he passed? The "Tasmanian Devil" never made much sense, impossible to understand or control. He was lunacy on a path to destroy all things near him! It seems nobody could ever control the "Tasmanian Devil"!
Over the last few weeks, my favorite "Tasmanian Devil" has been quite prominent on the world scene; President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran has been very verbose about Israel, America, capitalism and weapons. If you have read my blog in the past, you know all about the "peaceful pursuit of nuclear energy" that Iran says they are developing. Unless you are dead from the neck up, you're not buying this load of manure. Ahmadinejad's veiled threats against Israel have been a constant in all his speeches. He said in one speech "Try to imagine a world without Israel": now what could he have meant by that remark? Last week, there was a picture of a new Iranian missile in the paper; Iranian officials said it has the capacity to easily reach Israel. Last week, Ahmadinejad said Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel's Prime Minister, is a "skilled killer". He says Israel is a threat to Iran's security. This mad man is laying the ground work for a conflict with Israel! He has openly laughed about United Nations sanctions against his nuclear pursuits (U.N. sanctions are a joke). I'm sure he must be making private jokes about our President Barack Obama, and his pursuit for a peaceful dialogue. I'm sure he perceives our President to be a weak leader who will avoid any conflict; even if it means hanging Israel out to dry. This "Tasmanian Devil" continues to spin crazily, and the world watches. He spoke at the U.N. yesterday, and once again the United States bore the brunt of his diatribe of lunacy. He said 911 was an "inside job" initiated by our own government. In a show of disdain, the United States delegation refused to listen to Amadinejad's rantings. I'm sure this really hurt his feelings! He has said he wants to initiate the Muslim "end times" prophecies. He wants to be the tool for Allah to use to bring about a final conflict. He wants death and destruction; he thinks he is a messenger from his god!
Now, the question we must ask is, how far will we allow this lunatic madman to go? United Nations sanctions do little to nothing and have virtually zero effect on Iran. We have done nothing of substance to put a halt to this veiled aggression by the pretender to the mantle of Adolph Hitler. The Middle-East is a powder keg just waiting to explode, and Ahmadinejad is a "blasting cap".
This is not a cartoon, the "anvil" will fall; the "boulder" will crush and kill. Unfortunately, unlike the cartoons, nobody will get back up in the next scene, they will be dead! Ahmadinejad can no longer be taken lightly, he is not a cartoon character to laugh at; he is a genuine threat to world security. The question, WHAT WILL AMERICA DO? Mr. Obama ,you must show more teeth to this lunatic, and I don't mean a wider smile!

"An American Dream!"
Do any of you remember "The Maltese Falcon" with Humphrey Bogart? He was memorable as Sam Spade, the hard-boiled detective. All of the characters were pursuing the legendary "Black Bird", that was supposed to be encrusted in jewels, and cast from solid gold. Murder and treachery were prevalent throughout the film by all of the treasure hunters. When the "bird" was finally recovered, it turned out to be made of lead; not gold! The final dialogue spoken by Spade when asked about what the "bird" was, he said "It was the things that dreams are made of." The "Maltese Falcon" was a great allegory for our own pursuits of things that appear to be something that they really aren't; and the lengths we can be willing to go to get them.
Barack Obama started his campaign with his personal "Dream for America", a transforming; a fundamental change from what America is to what he wants it to be. It seems America has a different "dream for America" than Mr. Obama has. Harry Reid has a dream of his own too. Harry dreams that America will forget about health-care that it doesn't want; massive government spending it doesn't want and a Congress that ignores the will of the people that it doesn't want. Harry dreams Nevada will forget about the failed economics that has given his home state one of America's highest unemployment rates. Yes, Harry has dreams! Harry also has dreams for criminal illegal aliens. Harry, the great humanitarian, has tried to push the "DREAM ACT" through Congress; it failed. Sorry Harry! What was Harry's "DREAM ACT" all about?
It seems upon close examination, the "DREAM ACT" is a fast track to amnesty for millions of criminal illegal aliens. We are not talking about "anchor babies", we are talking about criminal illegal aliens between the ages of 12(okay) to 35(not okay). They have to prove continuous residence (illegal act) for 5 years and registry in the Selective Service System (should illegal aliens be serving in our armed forces?). They need to have a U.S. high school degree (paid for with your tax dollars) and they would be eligible for student loans and work study programs (which should go to citizens and legal aliens). If they fulfill these requirements, they will be given "conditional status". This is amnesty in disguise! Could Harry have ulterior motive with his "Dream Act" legislation; is it possible he is pandering for Latino votes in an effort to win an election he may lose? Is Harry's dream to put one over on the American people? Can Harry pull it off? He does have some leftist Latino groups rallying to his call. Fair Immigration Reform Movement (F.I.R.M.) has announced a concerted effort to move nation-wide against all Republican candidates in November's election. Rudy Lopez, of Campaign for Community Change, said "Yesterday's vote was really unprecedented, and it effectively was a filibuster of immigration reform. That's how the community sees it, and they are not happy." Oddly, it seems that main stream Americans don't agree with "preferred treatment" for criminal illegal aliens.
Harry's dream seems to be turning into a nightmare for him politically. He should be trying to find a way to salvage some of the jobs that have disappeared during his tenure as a Senate Majority Leader. Perhaps he should concentrate on border security; not only for Nevada, but all of our border states; all of whom are under assault from criminal illegal aliens. The border states are having nightmares, not dreams.
Perhaps, come November, an American dream may come true; A NEW SENATE MAJORITY LEADER!

"It's Over!!!"
Remember the children's play "Peter Pan"? One of the final acts was when Peter asked all of the children to think good thoughts so Tinker Belle, the fairy, could be kept alive. It was quite touching to watch the light flicker and then Tinker Belle was revived. A nice story, but a story none the less, a fairy tale for young children. Just believe and it will be so; ah, if life only worked that way wouldn't it be great?
I opened my daily newspaper yesterday to some joyous news "Panel Concludes Recession Ended June 2009, Was Longest Since WWII"! I'll have to admit I was really surprised; how did I miss this? Perhaps someone was removing portions of my "want ads" and hundreds of new jobs were being kept a secret. I know: Glenn Beck has his minions sneaking into press rooms all across America secretly editing the employment section of our nation's newspapers. The Bureau of Economic Research, from Cambridge, Massachusetts, declared the recession over and it ended 15 months ago! Oddly enough, I failed to see any sign of financial recovery in America. Home foreclosures are a historical high, lenders are reticent to loan on new business ventures and unemployment is still at record levels across the United States. In Illinois, unemployment is at 10.6%, Nevada is at 14.2%, Michigan is at 13.1%, California is at 12.2%, Puerto Rico is at 16.6%; I could go on endlessly with very disturbing job statistics. Believe me, this is only a short list of the states that are continuing to suffer in our "non-recession". Our Gross Domestic Product is at 1978 levels; I'm sure we all remember that time of "economic boom"! Unemployment has risen in 27 states last month, worse than the previous month by 14 states! America is still at a national unemployment average of 9.6% and 14.9 million people still in the search for gainful employment! I don't know what those "economists" are smoking, but I think they are trying to legalize it in California!
We are sitting on debts in excess of 14 TRILLION DOLLARS over the next twenty years; the highest debt in the history of the United States. There are several states who are looking at default financially, a crisis of monumental proportion to millions of people. Communist China holds a huge amount of our debt; does this not give us reason to have serious concern about our financial stability? Sweden, of all nations, is saying we are on the wrong path economically!
Yesterday, Lawrence Summers, an Obama economic advisor, became the latest in a series of the President's financial "gurus" to tender his resignation. Is he another casualty of Obamanomics, maybe? It's time to take off those "rose colored glasses" when we look at the financial policies of Barack Obama.
We cannot "wish" this recession away with "GOOD THOUGHTS"! America, don't be this easily fooled; we are in real trouble and Obama hasn't made it any better. Ask yourself this question: are you any better off today than you were a year ago, and is America any better off as a nation? Don't wear those rose colored glasses!

The Bureau of Economic Research, from Cambridge, Massachusetts, declared the recession over and it ended 15 months ago! Oddly enough, I failed to see any sign of financial recovery in America. Home foreclosures are a historical high, lenders are reticent to loan on new business ventures and unemployment is still at record levels across the United States. In Illinois, unemployment is at 10.6%, Nevada is at 14.2%, Michigan is at 13.1%, California is at 12.2%, Puerto Rico is at 16.6%; I could go on endlessly with very disturbing job statistics. Believe me, this is only a short list of the states that are continuing to suffer in our "non-recession". Our Gross Domestic Product is at 1978 levels; I'm sure we all remember that time of "economic boom"! Unemployment has risen in 27 states last month, worse than the previous month by 14 states! America is still at a national unemployment average of 9.6% and 14.9 million people still in the search for gainful employment! I don't know what those "economists" are smoking, but I think they are trying to legalize it in California!
We are sitting on debts in excess of 14 TRILLION DOLLARS over the next twenty years; the highest debt in the history of the United States. There are several states who are looking at default financially, a crisis of monumental proportion to millions of people. Communist China holds a huge amount of our debt; does this not give us reason to have serious concern about our financial stability? Sweden, of all nations, is saying we are on the wrong path economically!
Yesterday, Lawrence Summers, an Obama economic advisor, became the latest in a series of the President's financial "gurus" to tender his resignation. Is he another casualty of Obamanomics, maybe? It's time to take off those "rose colored glasses" when we look at the financial policies of Barack Obama.
We cannot "wish" this recession away with "GOOD THOUGHTS"! America, don't be this easily fooled; we are in real trouble and Obama hasn't made it any better. Ask yourself this question: are you any better off today than you were a year ago, and is America any better off as a nation? Don't wear those rose colored glasses!
