LIFESTYLE CHOICES...KEEP YOURS TO YOURSELF

The big buzz on the internet is the pornographic performance on the AMA's by Adam Lambert the runner-up on last season's American Idol.    Mr. Lambert thinks there is nothing wrong with simulating oral sex in his dance and then kissing his male piano player.
What a jackass.  Further reason this country is in the crapper.   No brains, no morals a deadly combination. 
I personally have nothing against gays but what I can't stand is this in your face behavior that seeks to legitimize being gay to the world.   If you want to be gay fine but it isn't necessary to show me in a public venue.  I feel the same way about heteros doing the same sort of thing.
Typical Hollywood, Music and Entertainment assholes continually trying to make a "statement to the world" and forcing their lifestyles on America.  Get a grip you smack-offs, the average American has enough troubles and issues and could care less.  You have a small minority of idiots following you around and making you think you are something greater than you are.  You're an entertainer, nothing more.  Let some of that air out your big head and don't feel you have to force your homo-ness on us.

Democrats or Republicans One and The Same

I don't foresee much hope for America as long as we have to pick between these two groups to select our leaders.  The biggest mistake folks are making is to think one side or the other is better.  They are all helping themselves and not so much helping the citizens.  They get in office and then you can't get them out for decades.  This is not what the Founders of our Nation had in mind.   There are groups all throughout the system that are corrupt and stealing from the taxpayers.  Fraud and corruption are a way of life in this political system of ours.  The Ideals and Morals are gone and we are on the decline much as Rome was but most are too stupid to see it.  Thankfully I had the chance to live in the greatest years of American, namely the 50's and 60's.  Sadly, those years will never come back nor will the people that made them so great.  Folks with a strong work ethic and a conscience.  Some things that are definitely missing today.  I feel bad for my children and grandchildren in that they will never know how great America was.  How simple, yet fulfilling those times were and the inspiration many of us got living in our country in those years.  I feel that our nation has been hijacked by small groups, minorities and outsiders whose goal is not for a better land but to line their own pockets and to have everything handed to them.  We are in the midst of the decline but the only question remaining is how long it will take till the total collapse.  Brought down not by outside forces or armies but from within.  Who would've thunk?

AMERICA...HEADED FOR THE ABYSS

It should be clear to everyone that our country is headed for disaster.  Never before have divisions been so great and differences so unsolvable.  The two sides that call themselves "Liberal" and "Conservative"  have driven a wedge between us all that is being played out in numerous arenas.  There is almost no aspect of American life that isn't being argued over.  We are constantly bombarded on TV and Radio with the wail of these "Sirens" from the left and right.    Instead of entertainment the media has become the great "divider" of our nation.  Thanks to the continued drumbeat and harping of the "pundits" we are left feeling as if everything is hopeless.  Nothing can be agreed on or no issue can be finally resolved.  It is quite sickening to watch.  Part of the problem is the 24 hour news channels and their constant search for "breaking news" both real and imagined.

BIG MISTAKE

After recent events in Iraq, I have come to the conclusion that American involvement there has become a disaster.  A disaster for both America and the Iraqi people.  There are more and more innocent people dying there daily.  Saddam might have been a nightmare but at least he could control the various factions and I am convinced the bloodshed would be less than today.  We worked with him in the 1980's but somehow decided he was the enemy in the 2000's.  Now we are bogged down there fighting a battle we can not win and don't have the will to continue in a way that might allow us to win.  Saddam is dead, the vacuum created has been devastating to the civilians and the bombers will continue their acts of terror until doomsday.  We should have continued our full concentration and effort in Afghanistan and kept our fingers out of the Iraqi pie.  This mistake has cost us greatly in many ways and will continue to do so long into the future.

IS ANYTHING GOING RIGHT AROUND HERE?

     It is now officially impossible to listen to talk radio or watch a cable TV news show and not feel that the sky is falling on this country.  The amount of pure hatred flowing from both sides, Conservative AND Liberal toward each other is unbelievable and unmeasurable.  Gone are the days of intelligent discussion between opposing sides.  There is no longer a desire to solve problems, only to force one's will and views on another.  It has become so pervasive in all areas of our society from the politicians to the media and even to average citizens.  When you read the kinds of things that are going on and the decisions that are being made you can only conclude no one gives a damn anymore.  Perhaps I have become so jaded and disgusted I'm not seeing the good.  Is there any left out there?  Please share it if you know.

GOVERNMENT'S DIRTY SECRET

Perhaps the most frightening thing about what is going on today in America is the slow and systematic efforts by certain people in government to silence their critics or those who oppose the far reaching control of big government.
One of the ways it is happening is the criminalization of anything even remotely oppositional to those in power and their allies.  Groups and individuals are being branded as hate groups regardless of the evidence.  Individuals are being criminalized for vocal opposition to things like abortion, gun control, illegal immigration and the like.  Those in power know that a surefire way to silence critics is to label these critics as someone who opposes the political correctness or any of its far-reaching tentacles.  In other words, a tricky way to make opposition or different opinions against the law, illegal or criminal.
If you oppose same sex marriage, you are branded a homophobe, if you oppose, gun control you are labeled a "right-wing extremist".  Opposing a black President's policies gets you branded a"racist."
Make no mistake this is all part of a larger game to choke off opposition and silence anyone not in step with the power brokers and special interests controlling the media, government, power and money. 
A recent pledge by the Oathkeepers to carry out their promise to protect the Constitution is causing that group to be closely monitored by government agencies like the Terrorism Task Force and the FBI and will soon get them labeled as a "hate group" or something else which will allow the government to squash them and their rights under the guise of protecting us.
Presently, we find ourselves in a frightening, sort of Orwellian period of America's history.  Our laws and rights are constantly being violated, our heritage is being washed away, true facts of history are becoming twisted into lies and half truths, the Christian beliefs, so strongly tied into the fabric of our nation are being eaten away with no end in sight.  Due to all these reasons and many others like them it is evident that the Great American Nation we have all known is going away.  This,  much like the fall of the Roman Empire, so well chronicled, with all its warnings,  is as inevitable as the Sunshine.  Our America is going away and what is replacing it will not be anything worth living in.  The decay is all around us and has taken many different forms.  It is only a matter of time till we are all consumed.

Paladin Paladin Where Do You Roam?

Paladin Paladin far, far from home!
I got to say that the inspiration for this blog comes from one of my favorite TV Shows as a kid. This western starring Richard Boone was along with The Wild Wild West my two favorites.
Do you remember this one? Perhaps you had another favorite from that era. Let's hear about it.
